If all homes were wheelchair friendly there should be little or no extra cost as this would be the norm. Developers who obtain planning permission and subsequently claim the restrictions make it unviable should not be allowed to change the agreed plan.

All new accommodation should meet the NDSS or any subsequent space standard, and dwellings should meet the acceptable living standards as proposed. There should be no option for developers not to build to such standards; it is crucial that homes are built that people can live in comfortably, and this should take priority over developers' profits.

Often new build estates in the area are big and expensive homes and seem to ignore any sort of 'right sizing '. For example Kenilworth gates where the cheapest house was over £450k

While internal space standards are important, this plan fails to address the need for sufficient outdoor space, including gardens, communal areas, and adequate parking. High-density developments without green spaces reduce quality of life and harm community well-being. Children need safe, accessible playgrounds, and families require gardens for recreation and sustainability. Parking provisions must reflect real-world car usage to prevent congestion and safety issues. A focus solely on internal space ignores these critical aspects of livability. Planning must prioritize holistic, functional communities, not just minimum housing standards, to ensure long-term sustainability and well-being for current and future residents.

1. Ensuring that new homes are appropriately sized to meet local demand is crucial for delivering sustainable and inclusive communities.
2. flexibility should be maintained to allow for well-evidenced exceptions where different layouts may better serve specific local needs, such as single-occupancy or specialist housing.
3. The commitment to Accessible Living Standards is welcomed
4. To effectively meet local demand, policies should be supported by up-to-date evidence on demographic trends and housing needs, ensuring that new homes reflect both current and future requirements of the community.

Developer must be made to build the affordable, 1 2 bed house first on the prime areas of the site. The second stage of development should be the 3 bedroom houses finally the third phase larger property's on the remaining land. Without such mandatory approach developers will build the most profitable house first leaving the social, affordable housing in the less desirable areas. The Bearley/Wilmcote site is a prime example where this would occur bringing long term social deprivation. This site is not viable.

Affordable housing should be built before larger, detached properties so that the housing need of the majority is met first.
Wilmcote Bearley is unsuitable as the developers would build large, premium homes for greater profit in this area.

I believe the Government document on technical housing standards is appalling. Housing just seems to be getting smaller and smaller and its clear that the people who write such documents are clueless as to size and furniture people need and require. Cannot "swing a cat" in the smaller housing comes to mind. Councils should do more in influencing and pushing back on the right size. Developers hide behind costs beit cost of land, materials etc. Right size proportions of homes is fundamentally important. Words such as "satisfactory accommodating" is all very subjective.

Wording needs to change bed to bedrooms. Otherwise 2 bed = 4 bed spaces which is mathematically illogical. The bed sizes and minimum room sizes should be specified in metres. Child vs adult bed sizes, bunks vs twins, etc. The policy as written is too easy to dodge round.

Homes need to be the right size, but also adaptable to changing life stages. eg showers on both floors if not bungalows. eg pre approval for future garage conversion to granny flat OR carer accommodation. eg staircases wide enough to take stair lifts later.

SIZE must include configuration for eg retrofits such as new energy system installation. (I have encountered a horribly noisy heat pump upsetting neighbours. I thought it best described as a cuboid carbuncle on the front of an otherwise quite nice house, probably visible above the window sill inside. No need for this with better design.)

I think those minimums for wheelchair accessible homes are an excellent move to make homes available to wheelchair users without excessive adaption/rebuilding. Its important to ensure that "wheelchair accessible" is also more than just the doorways and access to all rooms though - bigger bathrooms, decent, wide footways around the development and accessible access to any infrastructure built as part of the development are also necessary.
