Research addresses Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) and highlights that while they are few in number in the UK, increasing investment in their creation may prove a wise investment considering the changing demographics of the UK's ageing population. Discusses the practicalities of such schemes and how planning rules may need to offer additional flexibility to offer the support required for their creation. Looks at material planning considerations and covers the benefits, design and potential issues for CCRCs.
