Many of the housing schemes I have visited are adaptable. We have future-proofed them to look after that person when they reach an older age and they might not be as mobile, or, if someone were to have a child that might have particular needs. They are future-proofed by having wider doorframes and by having particular types of bathrooms that can be easily adapted or do not need to be, because of the way they have been designed, in being washrooms as well. I am very pleased with some of the foresight local authorities have had in designing some of these houses. That does take a little more time.
