Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of requiring new build accessible property developers to ensure that their new dwellings meet category three needs.

Government recently consulted on various options to raise the accessibility of new homes, including proposals related to category three homes for wheelchair users. We are currently considering responses and will be publishing a Government response.
