<p>The Government has set out a strategy to make the housing market work in England
and make sure it works for all parts of our community, including older people. In
our Housing White Paper, ’Fixing our Broken Housing Market, we recognised that there
is a fundamental need to do more to ensure that more homes suitable for older people
are being built as part of our overall ambition to increase housing supply. (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fixing-our-broken-housing-market"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fixing-our-broken-housing-market</a>).</p><p>The
revised National Planning Policy Framework, published in July 2018, specifies that
local planning authorities are expected to have planning policies which identify the
size, type and tenure of homes needed for different groups in the community including
older people. We will, in due course, publish further guidance to help councils put
these policies in place.</p><p> </p>
