19、type, but is concerned mainly withpublic, commercial and service buildings.BS 9266 provides advice on the design of accessible and adaptable general needshousing and has drawn on a number of sources including the criteria from theLifetime homes design guide 1 and the government document Lifetime Hom
20、es,Lifetime Neighbourhoods 2. For more information on the 16 lifetime homescriteria, refer to www.lifetimehomes.org.uk1).BS 9266 is concerned largely with access to and within, and use of, residentialbuildings.

It is a full revision ofthe Draft for Development, and incorporates the following principal changes: change of title and clarification of scope; significant restructure of the d
22、ocument; general revision to take into account other recent guidance, includingBS 8300:2009+A1; revised recommendations for stairs and ramps; revised recommendations for lifts; revised and simplified recommendations for bathrooms and WCs; additional guidance on lighting.Much new housing in Britain i
23、s widely recognized to be spatially constrained.The recommendations in this standard have been developed in the light of theseconstraints, and in the knowledge that households might have to makecompromises (e.g. reducing furniture), to accommodate family members whohave developed or acquired tempora
24、ry or permanent impairments.With reasonable space and careful attention to the design of kitchens,bathrooms, and the amount and location of storage space, homes designed inaccordance with BS 9266 might be suitable for some wheelchair users. However,many wheelchair users and some older people with pa
25、rticular access, storageand circulation needs might need the space and circulation standards of a homedesigned in accordance with the Wheelchair housing design guide 3.1)Last accessed 25 July 2013.BRITISH STANDARD BS 9266:2013 The British Standards Institution 2013 iiiUse of this documentAs a code o

32、ollowing the key principles of inclusivedesign, general needs housing can be made sufficiently flexible and convenientto meet the existing and changing needs of more households, and so givepeople more choice over where they live.The population of the United Kingdom, in common with most of mainlandEu
33、rope, is ageing and its numbers increasing.2)The balance (ignoring for thesepurposes any changes in retirement ages) between the working population andthose over 65 is expected to tilt further towards the latter.In consequence, average household sizes have fallen, with the proportion ofone- and two-
34、person households increasing and that of three-, four- andfive-person households falling.The net result of these demographic trends is that the number of households isexpected to grow by about 230000 per year from 2013 until 2033.Meanwhile, fewer and smaller homes are being built in the UK.In 2010 t
35、he number of new houses built fell to just over 100000, and while theaverage size of new dwellings elsewhere in the EU, with the sole exception ofItaly, has increased, in England and Wales it has fallen. This might be at leastpartly accounted for by the fall in household sizes, but then, household s
36、izes arefalling across Europe.There can be no certainty that these exceptional trends in the UK will continue,but it might be prudent to assume that they will. If the housing stock of thefuture is to match up to the Governments stated ambition in the Nationalplanning policy framework 4 to accommodat
37、e “.the housing needs ofdifferent groups in the community including disabled people, older people andfamilies with children, .with.high quality and inclusive design for alldevelopment, including individual buildings, public and private spaces and widerdevelopment schemes.”, much greater attention wi
38、ll need to be paid to thedesign of internal layouts to ensure that they are robust to the changing needsof occupants over time.Furthermore, the Communities and Local Government department website statesthat: “As well as providing support for older people today, there is also thechallenge of making s
39、ure that the right type of housing and support is availablefor future generations of older people”.3)Generally, older people spend 70% to 90% of their time in their own home.Most older people want to remain in their own home, and a familiarenvironment is important in maintaining independence. Resear
40、ch also suggeststhat many older people affected by health conditions or disability find it difficultto move around their home and use the facilities in comfort and with dignity.2)Data taken from Housing statistics in the European Union 5. The report shows thatover the past 30 years the UK population
41、 has grown by 9.5% almost double the rateexperienced in Germany, but less than half the rate seen in France and Spain, andonly slightly less than half that seen in the Netherlands, already the most denselypopulated country in the EU with a population density almost double that of the UK.While data c
42、ollected for the report show the dwelling size averaged over the entiretyof the housing stock in England in 2001 to be 86.9 m2, the average size of newdwellings over the period 1981 to 2001 was only 82.7 m2. For all other member statesfor which figures exist, including the Netherlands and with the s
43、ole exception of Italy,the average size of new dwellings increased, in some cases by a considerable margin.3)http:/munities.gov.uk/housing/housingolderpeoplelast accessed 25 July 2013.BRITISH STANDARD BS 9266:2013 The British Standards Institution 2013 vThe requirements of a dwellings occupants can
44、change as a result of accident,illness or ageing, giving rise to reduced mobility or increasing sensory loss.In order to meet these changing requirements, homes need to be bothaccessible and adaptable: accessible for both visitors and residents, andadaptable to meet residents changing needs, both te
45、mporary and longer term.Some design features might need to be incorporated when the dwelling is firstbuilt; others might only need to have provision made at the outset for theirfuture adaptation. Incorporation of these design features also makes thedwelling convenient for disabled visitors and most
46、resident households,including some (but not all) wheelchair users, without the need to undertakeexpensive or disruptive alterations or substantial adaptations.Anticipating some of these trends, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation supportedwork in the 1990s to develop the concept of lifetime homes, which
47、aimed toincorporate the principles of accessibility and adaptability in good housingdesign. The current Lifetime homes design guide 1, developed by HabintegHousing Association, reflects contemporary knowledge and expectations, andcontinues to be used by local authorities as they seek to meet the nee
48、ds of theircurrent and anticipated resident populations. However, it was felt that a newBritish Standard, building on the principles of the lifetime homes standards butexpanded and more detailed, was required to serve the needs of industry andthe professions, and to have a wider application in both
49、the public and privatesectors.It is not expected that this British Standard will automatically apply to all newhomes, but local authorities will need to make informed choices about the mixof housing types and tenures that will be required over the coming decades.Housing providers will need appropriate tools to ensure that strategic decisionscan be put into effect. It is expected that this British Standard will play asignificant role in helping them to achieve their aims.BRITISH STANDARDBS 9266:2013vi The British
