A PLAN to build 42 extra-care flats and ten bungalows for elderly people will be considered by Darlington Borough Council's cabinet next Tuesday.
The scheme, on land at East Haven, next to Orchard House and fronting on to Yarm Road, aims to help people live independently for as long as possible and free up spaces in residential care homes.
Hanover Housing Association has submitted outline plans for the scheme.
John Buxton, the council's director of development and environment, is seeking permission to negotiate with the association and said any subsequent sale would be subject to planning permission.
