Joint Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Strategy - Outcome 2: Improving independent life for people with physical and learning disabilities:
Policy CS5 refers to accessibility in respect of transport but does not directly refer to the varying needs of the population as a whole apart from in supporting text. Should consider moving this requirement into policy - to complement DM12.
The requirement that 25% of new dwellings meet the M4(2) requirement (Policy DM12) is supported.
Could also set a policy requirement that some sites include specialist housing for those with physical or learning disabilities as part of their overall housing mix.
