H(d) Supported Housing

Proposals for residential care homes, hostels, cluster flats, refuges and other supported accommodation required by the local community will be given sympathetic consideration. In taking a decision the Royal Borough will have regard to all of the following considerations:

  • Location in residential areas with good access to essential services, including public transport and shops;
  • Impact upon the local environment and the character of the area, taking into account intensity and scale of use and whether the development would lead to an over concentration of provision in the area;
  • An identified local need;
  • The size of the unit and the standard and suitability of the provision for the client group;
  • The particular locational needs of the client group; and
  • The design requirements of Policies H5 and DH1.
