Contracting arrangements between local authorities and independent sector care homes are a matter for local negotiation and decision. The Government does not set or recommend the level of the fees that local authorities pay.<\/p>
<\/p>
We would expect decisions taken by councils commissioning care home places to be made on the basis of judgements about quality, best value and the outcomes for individual residents. Local authorities are major purchasers of care home places and are often able to negotiate very competitive rates with care providers.<\/p>
<\/p>
Providers are free to decide the rates they offer to residents whose care has not been arranged by a local authority. Contractual arrangements in these circumstances are entirely a matter between the care home operator and the individual resident.<\/p>

An application for the proposed development has been made under the Planning Act 2008 and members of the public have had an opportunity to register as interested parties in the examination process. The application documents are published on the Planning Portal website. The applicant proposes that a cable corridor of 4,565 linear metres will be laid within the Hurn Forest.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
During construction a corridor up to a maximum of 40 metres would be required by the contractors to facilitate laying the cable; this equates to an area of 18.26 hectares. After construction, the land directly affected by the cable would be 20 metres wide (affecting 9.13 hectares). The Forestry Commission has worked with the developer to locate the proposed cable route adjacent to existing forest roads and tracks, reducing the impact on the actual forest area.<\/p>
