Development Management Development Plan (DPD)

Representation ID: 665

Received: 09/08/2010

Respondent: Adult & Community Services Southend-on-Sea Borough Council

Representation Summary:

Southend-on-Sea has high numbers of residential accommodation for vulnerable adults particularly for older people. Occupancy generally made up of Southend residents and residents from other parts of Essex. Governmental drivers promote independent living in all vulnerable adult groups. This would lead to the reduction of current provision as more individuals are supported at home and also the restriction of new builds unless it can be proven that there is no accommodation available in existing establishments for the particular client group if they need residential accommodation. The council seeks to restrict the provision of residential care homes and residential nursing homes. Southend-on-Sea has high numbers of residential accommodation for vulnerable adults particularly for older people. The occupancy is generally made up of Southend residents and also residents from other parts of Essex. Provision of some residential accommodation will always be necessary but in essence key governmental drivers promote independent living in all vulnerable adult groups. This would lead to the reduction of current provision as more individuals are supported at home and also the restriction of new builds unless it can be proven that there is no alternative accommodation available in existing establishments for the particular client group if they particularly need residential accommodation. With this in mind the council seeks to restrict the provision of residential care homes and residential nursing homes.
