DM24 / 25:- Focus on elderly housing provision. It has become noticeable at borough level and especially in relation to rural communities that there is a shortage of affordable housing for school leavers and elderly residents. The issue of accommodation for the elderly who are looking for smaller manageable dwellings has been compounded by the regular granting of planning permission to demolish existing bungalows ad develop on the land often replacing the bungalow with expensive houses. I feel that more provision should be made for the protection of dwellings suitable for elderly residents.
