Policy 11 Specialist & Older Peoples Accommodation
The Council supports the provision of specialist housing across all tenures, where they are conveniently located for a range of local shops, services and public transport, appropriate to the mobility of the residents, and they provide appropriate parking and suitably landscaped amenity space. Proposals involving the loss of sites currently providing specialist accommodation will be resisted unless:
- it can be demonstrated that there is no demand for the existing accommodation and no demand for sites from alternative providers, or
- there is equal or greater replacement provision of improved specialist accommodation in an alternative appropriate location
Where opportunities arise to maximise the use of sites currently providing specialist accommodation, proposals for extensions or redevelopments to providing additional accommodation will be looked on favourably, subject to appropriate scheme design.
