HO4: Housing Size and Type
The Council will ensure that the size and type of housing reflects the needs of the community by:
- requiring developments, including conversions, that propose four or more dwellings to include at least 80% of their total as one or two bedroom units,
- encouraging the provision of housing designed to meet the needs of older people, including the provision of 400 units of extra care housing on suitable sites over the period 2006 to 2026,
- encouraging the inclusion within housing schemes of a proportion of dwellings that are capable of meeting the needs, as occupiers, of people with disabilities.
