The plan, as drafted, will not deliver extra care facilities in accordance with the Council’s aspirations. It fails to comply with test c) (effectiveness) of para 45 of the NPPF.

The emerging local plan includes a general “catch all” policy on the provision of care accommodation on sites delivering over 300 dwellings. It also suggests that some sites could be suitable for care uses.

However, in the absence of any sites that are allocated for C2 / extra care only, landowners / developers will always have to consider the land value generated by C3 housing (including the provision of affordable / social housing) and the land value generated by care development.
