Request
When did South Derbyshire District Council change the criteria allowing over 18s the right to be housed alongside residents housed on previously dedicated over 60s areas?
Exact date and attached proof of above please.
Response
The Council can confirm Jubilee Close has not been de-classified and is not down as a scheme for de-classification. Jubilee Close properties are still classed as sheltered accommodation.
Sheltered accommodation is not just based on age and consider younger individuals with disabilities who require a level of support. Each case is assessed independently.
