<p>In the revised National Planning Policy Framework, published in July 2018, we strengthened
policy to create a clear expectation that all local authorities have policies in place
for addressing the housing needs of older people. We will publish further planning
guidance, to assist councils to put these policies in place, in accordance with the
Neighbourhood Planning Act commitment. We have undertaken extensive engagement in
relation to the guidance. This includes discussions with a range of local authorities,
charities, house builder representatives, and providers of specialist housing for
older people, to identify and discuss the key issues. We will publish the guidance
in due course.</p>
