Dear Shola Ajibade

Subject: Freedom of Information response No: 834

I am writing to confirm that the council has completed the processing of
your request for information.

Please find below a copy of your request, followed by the Council’s
response.

Request

We are doing a research to find out what type of accommodation and support
your local authority may require for the supported and semi independent
living provision.

Response: Bracknell Forest Council has been working on the development of
a Housing Strategy which outlines the key housing issues and challenges
over the next 5 years, including housing for people with care and support
needs. The strategy has been approved by the Executive and will be
published on the Council website shortly. In the meantime, you can find a
link to the pre-publication version here: [2]Housing Strategy rev Final
version with amendments Executive.pdf (bracknell-forest.gov.uk) Please see
section 7 (pages 39 – 45) which sets out the needs for housing for people
with care and accommodation needs.

You may also find it helpful to refer to our web page

which contains other helpful information as well.

If you have any queries about this matter please contact me. Please

Please note that your request may itself be the subject of a FOI request
and will be disclosed in that event.

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to our
handling of your request you can request an internal review.

Requests for an internal review must be made in writing, and within 40
working days from the date the authority issued an initial response to
your request. Public authorities are not obliged to accept internal
reviews after this date.

Requests for internal reviews should be acknowledged and the target date
for responding will be advised usually within 20 working days. In the
event that clarification of an internal review is required from the
applicant the normal 20 working day time period will not begin until it
has been received.

When requesting an internal review, please include your reference number,
the date of your original request and your contact details. Please also
include an explanation of why you are dissatisfied with our response.
Requests for an internal review should be sent to:

directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the
ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints
procedure provided by the Council. The Information Commission can be
contacted at: The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
