Policy does not include any specific targets for delivering Class C2 accommodation to cater for the needs of older people, other than requiring new residential development above a threshold of 10 no. or more dwellings to provide a target of at least 10% of new dwellings as ‘Accessible and Adaptable’. This will not deliver specific specialist older person accommodation and as such, the identified need of between 749 no. to 1,309 no. specialist accommodation beds over the Plan period, or 37 no. to 65 no. beds per annum, will not be met by Draft Policy H4 Meeting All Housing Needs, and the Plan is therefore unsound in this respect.

Draft Policy H1, does not fully meet the critical need for providing specialist housing for older people and is therefore unsound.

Reconsider SKPR-168 Land to the North of Wilsford Lane, Ancaster, Grantham, NG32 3PU for allocation for Class C2 and Class C3 accommodation.
