Executive Decision Notice – 28 June 2022 Page 2 This notice is a public document also available to view on the Council's website www.hillingdon.gov.uk Alternative options considered and rejected Not buying the property was considered but this was rejected as it has not been possible to find suitable accommodation for the vulnerable residents in the timescales set out by the landlord and Court of Protection legislation. Residents and their families are very happy with the current housing arrangements. Continuing the current arrangements would not be possible as Shepherds Bush Housing Association own the property and are selling all their supported housing stock.
