Decision details

Consideration was given to the development of a new provision for adults with learning disabilities and associated complex conditions.   This would provide purpose built accommodation to support individual adults with a learning disability, to maximise their potential and independence, at a location that would be nearer their families and access to local health services

RESOLVED

For the reasons set out in the report: -

1. That approval be given to the transfer of the site from the Children’s Services to Adult Services at the valuation of £155,250.

2. That approval be given to procure a development partner for the Redsands site to provide supported living facilities for adults with a learning disability.

3. That Counsels opinion be sought to ensure that the disposal  of land to the chosen Registered Social Care Landlord does not fall within the definition of a Public Works Contract and so be caught by Public Contracts Regulations 2006 as referred to in paragraph 9.2 of the report.

4. That approval be given to go out to consultation to look at future need for respite for people with very complex conditions, in line with personal budgets and use of alternative provision.
