Decisions for issue Review of future options for Stonehurst Court

(1)            That it be agreed that the core part of the scheme be converted from 20 studio flats into 10 x 2 bedroom family houses, for initial use as good quality Temporary Accommodation for households to whom we have a duty to accommodate, with the potential in the future to use the homes as general needs stock to meet the needs of families waiting on the housing register.

(2)            That it be agreed that the 6 flats which are part of the street frontage on Down Terrace be reclassified as general needs housing, while ensuring the existing tenants (3) continue to receive support from Carelink and mobile sheltered support as necessary.

(3)            That it be noted that a budget of £1.044 million is included in the Housing Revenue Account Budget and Investment Programme 2017/18 and Medium Term Financial Strategy report, also being reported to this Committee.
