HO6 ACCESSIBLE HOUSING

The council will seek to secure high quality accessible homes in all developments that include housing, in particular we will require that:

  • 90% percent of new housing should meet Building Regulation requirement M4(2) ‘accessible and adaptable dwellings’ and where feasible, additional dwellings resulting from conversions, changes of use and dwellings formed from extensions or floors added to existing blocks of flats should also meet this requirement;
  • 10% percent of new housing should meet Building Regulation requirement M4(3) ‘wheelchair user dwellings’ designed to be wheelchair accessible users. ‘Wheelchair user dwellings’ should be provided in proportion to the tenure mix of the development.

Accessible width car parking spaces should be provided to meet the needs of blue badge holders in accordance with Local Plan Policy T5 and British Standards.
