The context to the Core Strategy identifies that there is forecast to be a signifcant increase in the proportion of older people in 2026, & that there is forecast to be a very significant increase in the number of one-person households. Given the changing population profile within the Borough over the plan period it is considered that greater consideration should be given to planning for the needs of an ageing population. The need to provide for Lifetime homes is mentioned in PA20 but the needs will also extend through to employment needs, accessibility & leisure & community needs. This should be made clearer through the overall strategy. You will also need to reflect the guidance in 'Lifetime homes, Lifetime neighbourhoods - A National Strategy for Housing in an Ageing Society' published by CLG.
