The proposal would turn the four-bedroom semi-detached house into a home providing short-term support for adults experiencing acute emotional or mental health distress. Planning documents state all clinical interventions, risk assessments and medication decisions would remain the responsibility of the local NHS Mental Health Trust's Home Treatment Team. However, council planning officers have recommended that permission is granted, saying the facility would meet an identified local need for mental health support. A report to councillors states the service would provide "essential community" healthcare support and help move mental health crisis care away from overstretched hospital settings. The final decision on whether the Wallington home can become a mental health crisis facility will be made by Sutton Council's Planning Committee tonight.
