Recommendation 4

4 Paragraph: 27

Delayed M4(2) technical consultation causes ongoing uncertainty for disabled people and stakeholders.

Conclusion
Moreover, it is unclear why the Department did not seek to launch the further ‘technical consultation’ soon after its July 2022 announcement of its M4(2) policy change. The delay to implementation continues to afflict the daily lives of thousands of disabled people who are searching for accessible new build homes, while stakeholders from across the sector remain “left in the dark”, with little clarity as to the timeline for implementing the M4(2) policy change.
