| Annotation | In the United Kingdom, the supply of new homes to the housing market tends to be focused either on "general-needs" housing, or on special needs housing for older people. Relatively few people moveg into homes that will support their independence as they age. This qualitative case study of a mainstream housing development has been compiled against a backdrop of chronic housing shortage and the UK government's recent Housing Standards Review. The development meets so-called Lifetime Homes in Lifetime Neighbourhoods standards, and identifies specific design and location features that have attracted "downsizers" to buy into it. (RH). |
