520 _aThe ODPM has annouced a review of building controls to create better quality housing designed to adapt to changing household needs. Existing building regulations on accessibility could be strengthened by introducing the lifetime homes standard, which are a series of design features to ensure that flexibility is built in at the design stage. Possible features for greater flexibility include stairs designed to take a stair lift at a late stage and ground floor space for installation of a shower if required.
