Themes:
The ageing population will change demand for housing. In particular, it is likely that more adaptable and specialised housing will be needed.
By 2033, total UK households are projected to increase by 27%. In that time, one-person households are projected to increase by 54%, with half of the growth in the over 65 group.
Building suitable new homes and supporting the adaptation of the
existing housing stock will be critical as the population ages.
