Representation Summary:

Challenge B (p13-14) 1st bullet seeks “to ensure” the full OAHN for the Borough is met, however the 6th bullet in referring to housing for older people merely seeks to “wider the range of options”.

The Objective should similarly ensure the full needs for older persons housing need is met and this would then be consistent with Policy P4E(1) with the expectation that “new housing developments” “meeting the identified needs of older people”.

Change suggested by respondent:

Challenge B 6th bullet to be amended to ensure housing needs for older people is met in full. Change to read “To ensure that the full housing needs for older people is met with a range of options including retirement housing, retirement communities / extra care and care homes.'
