The new dwellings will all comply with the HAPPI criteria and blend in well with both the existing estate and wider environment. The improvement works to Hanover Court will offer more accessible facilities to the residents and allow further engagement with the wider local community.

The estate is already linked with housing and social services, many of the voluntary groups and members of Forest Action Forum. There are also close working links with Health Services, local GPs and Nurses and the Dilke hospital, a memory café is run from the estate and Hanover work with the local Alzheimer's worker.

The estate also link with the local college and the Extend Teacher for exercises for older people comes in weekly.

There are good links with all the local churches and worship groups who visit regularly.

Relevant Local Strategy

Gloucestershire have commissioned a care and support service for the existing extra care scheme and support the revenue funding for the larger scheme.

Forest of Dean also supports the additional housing units in an area where there is insufficient provision for older people.

This scheme offers the potential for roll-out of individual personalised budgets with an additional 'core charge' for each resident to ensure that 24/7 on-site care services can be provided with residents having control over the remainder of their budget to purchase the services they choose to meet their needs as required. This offers savings on traditional block contracted services.
