Answer
A 24 unit scheme for people suffering from mental health problems has been programmed into the Social Housing Development Programme for construction start in 2013/14. The site is being developed by Trinity Housing Association.
Capital funding has been set aside in 2013/14 and beyond to fund its construction, subject to an approvable application for grant from Trinity. An application has yet to be received.
Trinity aims to make a planning application before the end of October.
