The last five years has brought unprecedented change to housing standards, the regimes that own, manage and assess them, and the tenures to which they apply.
Following the Housing Standards Review, this new handbook reflects the latest standards and best practice.
This publication:
- considers the role that standards play in securing the quality of new build housing
- breaks down the standards to show whether they are applied nationally or locally
- features a checklist in the appendices containing all the standards listed in the book
- is easy to navigate with best practice guidance and illustrations.
