AnnotationThis good practice guide aims to examine the role of the forward planning and development control system in offering an appropriate range of housing choice to an ageing population, to offer advice on good practice, and to consider how this can be done in a way that also satisfies wider housing and planning objectives. For the purposes of this guide, "retirement housing" is used to describe types of accommodation including: housing designed for the "early" retired; sheltered housing; and extra care and assisted living, designed for those with higher dependency and support needs. However, retirement villages are outside the scope of this guide. (RH).
