It appears to be a slight extension of the Part M stuff.
Level entrances, wheelchair turning space, ground floor WC, wider stair to
take a stair lift! Hopefully, larger bathrooms and WCs.
I'll see what else there is.

Subject: Age friendly housing
Hi everyone
there seems to be a news article this morning about UK government suggesting
we should have age-friendly housing - apart from this being a deja vu
experience does anyone know any detail about what legislation or regulation
there are actually proposing. Or is this just the government trying to
deflect the media spotlight off them?
