Full text:
We agree with at least the minimum space standards of the PPG, but would wish to see these exceeded wherever possible, and particularly in the one and two bedroom categories, given that our space standards are lower than the rest of Europe.
We support the adoption of optional Building Regulations standards for accessible housing, as acknowledged by our Policy HO5, 'thereby to enable (the elderly and people with disabilities) to remain independent and within the community for as long as possible'.
We therefore agree as a minimum 9(a) and 9(b), and on 9(c) favour options D and E.
