Quality, Design and Housing Standards

New housing must be designed to high standards with adaptability for different life stages, including for older people and those with disabilities, creating safer and more sustainable places to live.

The Council recognises there is a need to encourage improvements in the design, quality and standards of new housing development across the Borough in an effort to create safer, more attractive and sustainable places to live. A choice of homes should be provided and designed to be adaptable and suitable for people at all stages of life and for those with more specialist housing needs, including an ageing population and those with disabilities.
