Bath & North East Somerset Council (B&NES) is considering next steps for a supported housing scheme at Englishcombe Lane, Bath.
The project will see 16 specialist homes built for adults with learning disabilities or autism.
The site will have 10 one-bedroom houses, five two-bedroom houses, a single three-bedroom house, and a community hub.
All homes are set to be accessible and adaptable for wheelchair users.
A report to cabinet on 11th September will ask councillors to agree to move the project forward.
If approved, the council will invite tenders in September and award a contract in November.
Construction work is expected to start in July 2026.
Councillor Alison Born, Cabinet Member for Adult Services, said: “This is a landmark development for inclusive housing in Bath that will ensure vulnerable residents have the bespoke support and stability they need.
“It will reduce the need for people to move away from their families into expensive out-of-area placements or have to remain in inappropriate accommodation, instead keeping them close to their friends and loved ones.
“Not only will the scheme deliver on our priority to provide the right homes in the right places, it will also protect the ecology of the site with a 20% biodiversity net gain that exceeds mandatory requirements.
“This reflects our commitment to sustainable development across the whole of B&NES.”
The scheme is funded through rent-backed borrowing, service savings from in-house provision, a Homes England grant, and S106 funds.
