Berkshire Positive Planning for an Ageing Society Document

Positive Planning for an Ageing Society is the Berkshire Authorities' response to the Government's document Lifetime Homes, Lifetime Neighbourhoods - A National Strategy for an Ageing Society. The work represents a joint initiative between Adult Social Care, Housing and Planning services throughout the County.

This document provides information and a set of principles for the council, its partners and developers to ensure that our homes and neighbourhoods are flexible and accessible enough to allow older people to remain in their homes for longer; or, should they need to move home or into residential care facilities, to remain in their local area.

This document will inform the Local Development Framework and will provide a basis for the council's Planning for an Ageing Population Supplementary Planning Document.
