Lifetime Homes

• The Lifetime Homes Standards are a series of sixteen standards intended to make homes more easily adaptable for lifetime use.

• Lifetime Homes make life as easy as possible for as long as possible because they are thoughtfully designed. They provide accessible and adaptable accommodation for everyone, from young families to older people and individuals with a temporary or permanent physical impairment.

• Many planning policies already require the Lifetime Homes standard in new developments.

• All public sector funded housing in England will be built to the Lifetime Homes standard from 2011 (it is a requirement now in Wales and Northern Ireland), with a target of 2013 for all private sector dwellings.
