Respondent: Mr Andrew Burrow
In general terms the approach is appropriate. However, the UK in particular and our area in general has an ageing population and no mention is made of
1. Collective homes for the elderly both "old age homes" and "nursing homes"
2. Single storey homes to encourage/assist the elderly remain independent for as long as possible
As assessment of these needs should be made and planned for.
The policy makes no provision for other (younger) disabled people who need one storey accommodation.
This is a breach of the Disability Discrimination Act and must be rectified
