<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. The number of authorities with detailed
planning guidance on the provision of specialist housing for older people is not recorded.</p><p>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, including discussions with a range
of local authorities, charities and house builder representatives to identify and
discuss the key issues. We will publish the guidance in due course.</p>
