Decision details

146/2006 The Cabinet approved, with regard to Queens Court, Fitzhorold House and Shalder House, only moving tenants when accommodation becomes available that matches their requirements rather than en masse when a potential development partner has been identified subject to the comments set out in paragraph 8.3 of the report.
147/2006 The Cabinet noted the indicative timetable for the competitive tendering process, as set out in appendix 2 of the report, to secure a housing partner to redevelop and or replace Shalder House and Fitzthorold House with sheltered / extracare accommodation for older people.
148/2006 The Cabinet instructed officers to investigate developing shared ownership accommodation for people with a disability on the Queens Court site or on part of the site, pending a development plan for improving services for people with a disability and report back to Cabinet in the autumn.

These decisions will enable the Council to secure the external funding necessary for the redevelopment of the three schemes as well as to allow the authority to fulfil its wider enabling role.
