Key Findings and Recommendations	· Relatively limited proposals for PBSA (maximum of 60 bedspaces). · Given the more limited nature of the proposals, they should be capable of coming forward before a revised Development Framework. · Our initial recommendation is to discuss with IQ and further understand their likely plans and timing for delivery.
