The
NSE has stated a deserving need that requires funding, namely the
provision of decent accommodation for its long-term care residents.
sense agree this should happen. We estimate
£7-9Million would cover it. We think it can be
funded by the NSE without any land sale.

sense's
recommendations
1 As stated in sense's
financial conclusions, the NSE must firstly put it's residential
care division at or above break-even for the long-term future. This
must include periodic capital replacement.
2 The NSE should rethink their plans quickly. Time is pressing and
the NSE's residents should get better accommodation as soon as possible.
The NSE need to plan and manage the redevelopment of their long-term
care homes in a far more efficient way (sense have suggested
variations on a single theme here
and here). It is one that neither
impinges on the heritage of the Green Belt nor damages the fabric
of the local community.
3 Once the initial hurdle of decent accommodation has been cleared,
the NSE must initiate a capital replacement policy to replace other
care-related assets. This will be funded by the income from item 1
above together with existing cash balances of £2.5Million and
recurring profits of £1Million per annum..
4 sense will oppose and challenge the NSE's £32Million
planning application at all possible points of contact. Simply
because it is grossly excessive and inward-looking. We ask that
the local community, public at large, elected bodies and planning
departments act to reject it also. To help with this: |
