The Government recognises that access to high-quality inclusive spaces and opportunities for sport and recreation can make an important contribution to the health and wellbeing of people with learning disabilities.<\/p>

In 2015, the Government sport strategy, Sporting Future: A Strategy for an Active Nation<\/em> placed a focus on encouraging activity amongst those less likely to be active - including people with disabilities. The Government supports efforts that aim to encourage people with all forms of disability to become active and to fulfil their sporting potential.<\/p>

The Activity Alliance's \u2018Inclusive Fitness Initiative\u2019 <\/em>is supporting leisure centres to become more welcoming and accessible environments to disabled people. Activity Alliance run the initiative in collaboration with Sport England and UK Active and aim to give the active leisure sector support to improve, modernise and invest in its facilities, with the ambition that every facility in the country complies with the Activity Alliance \u2018Inclusive Fitness Initiative\u2019.<\/em><\/p>

In 2018-19 the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government committed over £15 million to support a robust package of new Government initiatives to support vibrant and inclusive open spaces to enable more people to participate in leisure activities. This included the Pocket Parks Plus programme which is providing funding for 198 community-led projects across England to create new or renovate existing parks. A number of the successful projects will be creating open spaces that address social inclusion - and increasing access for people with different disabilities to leisure and wellbeing activities.<\/p>

We have committed to funding research into housing solutions to tackle loneliness. The research will specifically explore how community-led housing initiatives, including cohousing, can help connect communities.

This commitment was set out in the Government\u2019s strategy paper: 'A connected society: A strategy for tackling loneliness\u2019
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-connected-society-a-strategy-for-tackling-loneliness<\/a>.

The Department has invited bids for the provision of our Loneliness and Community Led Housing Research.

Tackling loneliness was a large focus of a community vision event that my Department hosted with 40 Birmingham residents in February<\/p>

The Department worked with residents to develop a vision for their homes and neighbourhoods. The Department wanted to use this vision to bring communities together to tackle people's experience of loneliness; which can have a massive impact on their wellbeing.

In February, the Government held the Better Design for Better Places national conference in Birmingham. Attendees explored how to use design to promote and support people's health and well-being through discussions, and the Government selected a case study on tackling loneliness to be presented.

In the keynote speech at the conference, Lord Bourne referenced the importance of creating places which can help to tackle loneliness.<\/p>

We have built into the planning system, through the NPPF and its accompanying guidance,\u202fclear expectations on adaptation and resilience to climate change impacts. All plans should take account of a changing climate, including implications for flood risk, coastal change, water supply, biodiversity, landscapes and rising temperatures.<\/p>

When considering new development in areas which are vulnerable (e.g. to increased flood risk), care should be taken to ensure that risks can be managed through suitable adaptation measures, including through the provision of green infrastructure such as multi-functional sustainable drainage systems<\/p>


In the Government\u2019s response to the Environmental Audit Committee\u2019s enquiry into heatwaves we set out our intention to consult on a method for reducing overheating risk in new homes.
