"Junior housing minister John Cummins has confirmed proposals that will allow older people to subdivide their homes into flats will be brought forward in an attempt to boost housing supply."
"Housing Minister James Browne has moved away from plans that would encourage older people to downsize and is instead examining a plan that would allow older people to split their family homes into flats, the Sunday Times reports."
Junior housing minister John Cummins confirmed that proposals will be brought forward to allow older people to subdivide their homes into flats. The proposals aim to increase housing supply by enabling multiple units to be created within existing family homes. Housing Minister James Browne has shifted away from earlier plans to encourage older people to downsize. The new approach focuses on permitting the splitting of family homes into flats rather than promoting moves to smaller properties. The proposal is being examined and may form part of wider efforts to expand available housing stock.
