Supplying accessible housing (3)

  • Reference: 2024/2806
  • Question by: Zoë Garbett
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2024
Thank you for your answer to MQ 2024/2073, in which you described the London Plan policies intended to improve the supply of accessible homes. Data collected by the GLA on residential approvals of M4(2) Accessible and adaptable and M4(3) wheelchair user dwellings show boroughs are consistently missing these targets. How do you plan to: a) ensure boroughs improve their accessible housing delivery to comply with targets set out in the London Plan and, b) ensure a high proportion of this accessible housing delivered is for social rent?

Thank you for your answer to MQ 2024/2072, in which you stated only managers in the Housing and Land and London Plan teams receive Disability Equality & Inclusion Workplace training.
