Sunderland City Council proposes supported accommodation for homeless people at property in The Elms West, Sunderland.

Plans for a new council housing development on Wearside supporting homeless people towards “secure independent living” are due to go before councillors for decision next week.

Sunderland City Council's Planning and Highways Committee will discuss and vote on an application for a property at 5 The Elms West in the St Michael's ward in the Ashbrooke area.

The local authority recently lodged an application with its own planning department seeking planning permission for a change of use from a “dwelling house” to “supported accommodation”.

A design, access and heritage statement said the planning application was being proposed to “meet demand within the city”, with five carer roles proposed.
