The Healthy Homes Principles

As part of their campaign with Lord Nigel Crisp for healthy homes, the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) have developed a set of 12 foundational healthy homes principles to ensure better and more inclusive health outcomes.

• Principle 9. Prevent air pollution
• Principle 10. Limit light and noise pollution
• Principle 11. Ensure thermal comfort
• Principle 12. Genuinely affordable and secure homes
