Policy P4E relates to meeting housing needs for older and disabled people. As currently drafted, the policy does not meet the tests of being positively prepared, justified, effective or in accordance with national policy, as it will fail to meet the housing needs for older and disabled people.
The Plan should allocate specific sites for the housing of older people across all tenures, thereby enabling provision that cannot be achieved through open market competition for sites. This would provide
additional flexibility in policy that responds to the difficulty these schemes face in competing with conventional, policy compliant sites.
