(a)       The process for checking new properties to minimise any problems before they were let.

(b)       Confirmed that the council was still in discussions with Homes England regarding the potential for accessing additional funding.

(c)        Confirmed that discussions were ongoing with CALA homes and the County Council regarding the provision of an extra care home at Kings Barton.  The requirement for particularly careful consideration of the orientation of the scheme with the rest of the development site was highlighted.

(e)       The anticipated timescale for completion of the Winnall scheme, noting that there was the possibility that difficulties experienced on site due to inclement weather conditions might delay completion of the scheme until early 2024.
