Has somebody actually asked disabled people what they think before making some comments on accessibility? They are terribly under-represented in the review panel. Perhaps Andy von Bradsky can invite the Access Association to make a comment on this.

It is very worrying that access standards for disabled people are being discussed as a reason for 'stifling development'. Will disabled people now get the blame for not enough houses being built?

Also, can somebody explain the following statement of the CLG website when launching the review: 'But Mr Foster also made clear that essential safety and accessibility protections will remain untouched and that homes will always need to be built to high sustainability and quality standards'

It sounds as if accessibility standards are already in the firing line.
