Hastings Local Development Framework - Core Strategy Informal Consultaton 27 June - 8 August 2011

Representation ID: 1786

Representation Summary:

A specific positive policy should be included to respond to the need for specialist accommodation for the ageing population. The over 65s will represent a far bigger proportion of the expanding population and yet are largely being ignored in terms of housing choices. This accommodation will come from a number of sources both public and private and with varying degrees of care and shelter provision enabling individuals to remain within their own "home" with independence and security. There should be a more positive policy supporting older peoples accommodation in the same way that affordable housing has a high priority.
