520			_aConsiders how Joseph Rowntree's 'Lifetime Homes' concept goes beyond the new Building Regulations Part M requirements in facilitating disabled access to buildings. Lifetime Homes are designed to meet the changing needs of a wider client base, incorporating 16 design features which will ensure adaptability to future family problems such as old age and disability. Because Lifetime Homes incorporate accessibility and adaptability early into the process, future alterations will be avoided which will save money and allow people to stay in their homes longer. Outlines key requirements in Lifetime Homes including car parking, approaches to the building, internal lifts including stair lifts, wheel chair manoeuvrability, and the location and specification of particular rooms and features.
