Presentation notes and slides
Focus on Northstowe Healthy New Town
Northstowe is the only Healthy New Town development in the Eastern Region. It offers a unique opportunity to review older people’s housing at scale and include innovative approaches to support wellbeing, community cohesion and reduce pressures on stretched services.
Sheffield Hallam University's in depth community need analysis together with focus groups with older people will offer an in depth perspective of future housing and care service needs. We hope that some members of the focus group will be able to come along and give their views on the day.
The Housing LIN is very grateful to the Northstowe Healthy New Town and South Cambridgeshire Council for providing the opportunity to share the knowledge gained from this detailed collaborative project approach with its older people. We hope to be able to develop the ideas and innovations across the region.

Exemplar planning and design practice in association with the University of Sheffield
As well as the review of Northstowe we are taking the opportunity to look at exemplar planning and design practice with the help of Sheffield University and Thurrock Council and potentially other contributors.
There will also be plenty of opportunities for delegates to contribute during the day their own knowledge and expertise.
