Representation Summary:

Policy P4E (iv) states All specialist housing must meet the Category 2, Category 3(2a) or Category 3(2b) requirements of the Building Regulations, Approved Document M, Volume 1

This is not clear as it does not stipulate the proportion of each form of accommodation which is required and in any case should only relate to housing where the Council has nomination involvement (see other representations)

Change suggested by respondent:

That Policy P4E be amended to specify the proportion of wheelchair accessible and adaptable housing required and that this is only required where the Council is responsible for allocating or nominating an individual
