Habinteg and the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) have launched an innovative online toolkit to help make accessible housing a national priority.

Towards Accessible Housing - a toolkit for planning policy offers practical support to inform local authorities’ planning policy on access and to ensure homes and communities are inclusive for all.

It will help planners and local authorities understand the implications of the new housing standards, support accessibility within planning, and ensure an increased supply of accessible homes.

There is a significant nationwide shortage of accessible homes which, without decisive action, will grow as the population ages.
