MOTION NO.

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

Retain following from 2016, H1 Objective 6: To facilitate the development of emergency accommodation, including hostels for homeless individuals and families, in a balanced way located throughout the County and not concentrated in any particular area.

REPORT:

The motion seeks to retain the Objective H1 Objective 6 from 2016 – 2022 Development Plan which states  ‘To facilitate the development of emergency accommodation, including hostels for homeless individuals and families, in a balanced way located throughout the County and not concentrated in any particular area.’

H5 Objective 5 of the CE Draft Plan states: ‘To facilitate and support relevant agencies in the development of emergency accommodation, including hostels for homeless individuals and families, in a balanced way located throughout the County so as to avoid an over- concentration in any particular area.’

It is considered that the objective H5 Objective 5 outlined above captures the overall aim of the proposed motion and therefore it is considered that the Motion can be adopted with amendment to reflect this. 

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment to reflect that the existing H5  Objective 5 as currently set out in the CE Draft Plan is sufficient to provide for the intent of the motion: ‘To facilitate and support relevant agencies in the development of emergency accommodation, including hostels for homeless individuals and families, in a balanced way located throughout the County so as to avoid an over- concentration in any particular area.’
