Urgent Business - Approval for Capital Grant for The Shotover View Extra Care Housing Development

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The County Council has been planning for the development Extra Care Housing (ECH) on its site at Shotover View, Oxford with its partners in the Oxfordshire Care Partnership (OCP).  The ECH development is one of the Councils main strategies for the development of services for older people that meet the needs for support and care and also move away from the reliance on residential care.

 

The development of the Shotover ECH scheme requires grant subsidy from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).  The proposed allocation will not be sufficient for the scheme to be viable without further support.

 

Approval is sought for the allocation of £1.16million from the County's Capital Programme.

Decision:

Recommendations agreed.
