Assessment Criteria 1

This topic is of current national importance.
National Importance
It is suggested that the following questions should be added to the questions about housing:
• What type of internet access is available at this dwelling?
This question would assist in identifying levels of access and areas of limited connectivity both locally and Nationally.
• How many car parking spaces are specifically allocated for the dwelling?
• How many of these car parking spaces are used by the permanent residents of the dwelling?
These questions would assist in understanding the changing patterns of car usage on a spatial basis both locally and Nationally.
