The Older Peopleās Housing Champions Group, working in partnership with Care & Repair England has published Planning Ahead: Influencing local planning on housing and ageing.
TheĀ new guide provides an overview of the planning system and potential opportunities to influence the homes and neighbourhoods being planned and built, particularly regarding making good inclusive places to live as people get older. It also contains a practical example of how High Peak Access Group influenced the Local Plan.
It is aimed at local older peopleās groups and forums and draws on the experience of members of the older peopleās housing champions network and representatives fromĀ the Town and Country Planning Association.
The Older Peopleās Housing ChampionsĀ would love to hear from you if you areĀ taking any local action on housing and ageing.
