Adaptations for Older Householders
The policy seeks to enable property adaptations required to allow older homeowners to continue living independently, where such adaptations are not already covered under permitted development rights.
The local housing systems analysis for Belfast also notes that the continued upward trend in the number of older households over the next 15 years and beyond implies that there may be an increased demand for property adaptations or services to allow older homeowners to continue to live independently. The policy therefore seeks to enable adaptations required if they are not already covered under prevailing permitted development rights.
