Selby District Submission Draft Core Strategy – May 2011 _________________________________________________________________ 7.84 of functional, attractive and sustainable housing. New housing developments are scored against the criteria to assess the quality of their design. ‘Lifetime Neighbourhoods’ is a similar concept, which seeks to achieve well-designed communities. ‘ Lifetime Homes’ is a design concept aimed at providing internal and external environments, which are constructed to standards that ensure houses properly meet people’s needs throughout their lives or can be easily adapted to meet special circumstances such as physical disability (temporary or permanent) 23 . The Council is keen to encourage all new housing developments to attain these standards. Future DPDs or SPDs will consider detailed requirements. 7.84a The Council is a partner in the York Design Review Panel in cooperation with neighbouring authorities to consider the design qualities of major development proposals. At a more local level, the Council also offers pre-application discussions which includes design advice. (PC6.98) 23 http://www.lifetimehomes.org.uk/pages/home.html - 118 -
