Proposals to enable the provision of Older Person’s Accommodation on Lowfield Green
Purpose of Report: to consider how the site for Older
People’s Accommodation on Lowfield Green can be developed to best meet the
needs of our older residents and the local community, following the
results of a consultation with older residents about their
accommodation preferences and discussions with developers regarding
a care home for the Lowfield Green
site.
The executive will be asked to agree to procure an extra care
developer and operator to develop a mixed tenure extra care
development on the site previously identified for a care home.

Consultation process
Consultation process:
The recommendations within this paper will be informed by the
recent older person’s accommodation survey.
A soft market testing exercise is being carried out with developers
and accommodation and care providers.
Consultees:
Consultees include individual residents, housing associations,
older person’s advocacy groups and care providers.
Any other relevant information:
Previous reports gave approval to procure a care home developer. A
procurement exercise was launched, but no viable proposals were
received. Housing development is now underway on the Lowfield green
site and it is important that the site allocated for older
people’s accommodation does not sit unused while properties
are being completed, sold and a new community is being
created.
