Representation ID: 67
Received: 04/06/2009
Respondent: Leigh Society
Representation Summary:
Page 18. 54 Lifetime homes standard.
This is strongly welcomed. We expect that this will signal the end of he 'shoebox' flat.
We would welcome an addition at the end of this paragraph that 'wherever possible or feasible, conversions of existing houses or flats or other existing properties should recognise and reflet the lifetime homes standard'.

The Committee of the Leigh society welcome this draft Document.
It is clearly laid out, well designed and easy to read.
However, we feel it would be further improved if the sections in the Contents were labelled with page numbers for reference.
All in all this is a very welcome document and we commend the officers for their efforts.
