A wnaiff y Gweinidog Cabinet gadarnhau faint o gartrefi a adeiladwyd yn unol â safonau M4(3) (defnyddwyr cadair olwyn) sy'n cael eu dyrannu mewn datblygiadau newydd ym Mro Morgannwg a Bwrdeistref Sirol Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, a pha gyfran o gyfanswm y cyflenwad tai y mae hyn yn ei gynrychioli?
Welsh Government’s design standard for new social homes funded with Social Housing Grant, Welsh Development Quality Requirements 2021, references the Lifetime Homes Standard as a recognised means to ensure that new homes meet most reasonable needs of the widest range of people now and in the future. Homes achieving these standards provide homes that are thoughtfully designed, accessible and more readily adaptable to longer term needs.
In addition, Planning Policy Wales and Building Regulations promote inclusive design and the provision of accessible and adaptable housing. While no national percentage requirement is set, Local Authorities may include policies in Local Development Plans requiring a proportion of new homes to meet accessibility standards (e.g. M4(2) and M4(3)), based on identified local need. New homes are required to be built to Part M of the Building Regulations which sets out standards for accessibility.
Four new housing developments across the Vale of Glamorgan and Bridgend, supported by Welsh Government Social Housing Grant, are now underway. Together, they will deliver 180 additional homes that meet the Welsh Development Quality Requirements (WDQR).
