Site Selection

Old forum user 12/08/05 General Housing Topics

Would any members of this forum be able to direct me to any good practice information with regard to site selection?

You will find a few paragraphs on this website in the Suffolk Very Sheltered Housing Design and Management Guide http://changeagentteam.org.uk/_library/docs/Housing/designmgt.pdf

Good advice is also to be found in Homes for the Third Age - Robson D, Nicholson A-M & Barker N (1997) Homes for the Third Age - a design guide for extra care sheltered housing, E&F Spon in sections 3.3, 3.3.1 and 3.3. Unfortunately I think that it is no longer published, but it must be available in many libraries.

Also worth consulting is section 2 of Design Guide for the development of new build accommodation for older people - PRP Architects (2002)
Design Guide for the development of new build accommodation for older people; Abbeyfield Society. Can be obtained from the Abbeyfield Society http://www.abbeyfield.com/publications/index.htm
