Planning & COVID-19

There will lots of changes to our lifestyles once this pandemic is over. At a world wide scale, there will be changes to tourism, international movements and airports, global health and business structures.

Have a think now about your life has changed in the last couple of weeks and how you could change your surroundings to better cope with situations in the future

On a local scale however, things will also need to be thought about, for the self employed and how they can work from home. How we look after elderly relatives, how families can teach children from home and how local shops can be supported to provide for the local community.

Here's a few ideas...

• Have you elderly relatives? Do they need to be close? Would an annex be a possibility?
• Do you have enough space to work from home? Do you need a workshop or outdoor office area?
• Do you have enough space to exercise? Outdoor gym or indoor keep fit area?
• Was there enough space indoors to teach or play with your children? Would a loft conversion or an extension address this?
• Better storage facilities nearby for local shops, so they can access stocks.  Lockups, garages shared spaces may be the answer?
