<p>The Housing Delivery Test is a percentage measurement of net homes delivered against
the number of homes required. The test cannot be disaggregated into different types
of housing, but incentivises authorities to deliver housing for older people by allowing
them to count communal accommodation (such as care homes).</p><p>In preparing the
Housing White Paper ‘Fixing the Broken Housing Market’, and the revised National Planning
Policy Framework published last year, we consulted a wide range of groups, including
Age UK and the Retirement Housing Group. For the draft Framework we conducted 3 key
stakeholder roundtables, and carried out 40 individual meetings with interested parties
on specific topics or wording.</p>
