Consultation process
Tenants at Lincoln Court have already been engaged in a discussion
about the proposals so that their views and needs are able to
influence the proposal. Further engagement with tenants and local
residents will be used to shape the design of the new-look Lincoln

in shaping the re-design and the development of the new facilities
and services.
A planning application will be submitted and this will be the
subject of formal planning consultation and scrutiny.
The Older Persons;’ Accommodation Programme is guided by a
Stakeholder Group which includes third sector organisations and
representatives of older people who live in the city.

Making Representations: Background documents Executive on 7th December 2017 agreed to close Windsor House older persons’ home. They made that decision in the knowledge that the closure of Windsor House would prompt the need to re-locate the boiler for Lincoln Court Sheltered Housing (which is next door) and address other overdue works at Lincoln Court, triggering an investment review for this building including potential re-modelling to ensure its longer term future supporting independent living for older people in this area The proposals for Lincoln Court should be seen in the context of the overall Older Persons’ Accommodation Programme which was agreed by Executive on 30th July 2015
