Insight 4 May 2021, 12:19 Nearly 20 years on from Peter Kay’s tour, bungalows remain a highly popular housing choice among older people yet the number being built each year has plummeted from nearly 30,000 in the late 1980s to below 2,000 in 2021, which is less than 1% of all new homes built in the UK last year.
This, perversely, is at the same time as when the UK is experiencing greater life expectancy and an increasingly ageing and growing elderly population; when demand for bungalows is increasing further as a result of the impact of lockdown on older people’s lifestyles and well-being; and when the Government tells us that the need to provide all forms of housing for older people is ‘critical’.
