RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
“We recommend that the Government use planning rules to ensure that homes and communities are accessible for people with limited mobility and adaptable as their needs change with age. The Government should ensure that sufficient funds are available — for example through the Disabled Facilities Grant — to facilitate improvements to existing homes. The priority should be areas with poor housing and infrastructure, in order to reduce health inequalities. (Paragraph 292)”
