Respondent: Mr Peter Allison
No recognition is given to affordable single storey ground floor accommodation (e.g. bungalows). These are needed to replace bungalows that have been converted into two storey dwellings. This puts those with mobility issues at a disadvantage.
In all the plans for affordable housing in the village proposals, no recognition is given to the provision of single storey ground floor accommodation for the increasingly aged population to replace the number of dwellings that the Brentwood Council has allowed to be converted into two storey dwellings over the last twenty years.
This puts older people in the area at a distinct disadvantage to younger people due to mobility issues etc.
