H7 – Lifetime Homes

New housing should be capable of meeting the changing needs of residents over their lifetimes. It should be accessible to those with limited mobility and capable of adaptation for residents who are wheelchair users.

On major housing developments, at least 10% of homes shall be built to be ‘Wheelchair Adaptable’ as defined by Building Regulations M(2) or whatever standard supersedes it.
