Housing: Disability
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the supply of adapted housing for (a) adults and (b) children with disabilities in High Peak constituency.
- Answer
-
The provision of appropriate housing for people with disabilities, including specialist and supported housing, is crucial in helping them to live safe and independent lives.
The National Planning Policy Framework outlines that it is for local authorities to assess the size, types and tenure of housing needed for different groups, including those who require affordable housing, people with disabilities, older people, families with children, and rural communities, and to reflect this in their planning policies. In 2019, we published guidance to help local planning authorities implement this policy.
