Respondent: Gladman Developments

The provision of specialist housing to meet the needs of older people is of increasing importance and the Council need to ensure that this is reflected through a positive policy approach. The Council need to have a robust understanding of the scale of this type of need across the District. Therefore, in addition to the above suggested policy wording, which provides a positive framework in relation to sites which may come forward for extra care developments Gladman recommend that specific site allocations for this type of specialist housing should also be identified and included within the Local Plan.
