This is a local requirement. Rarely required, but this may be requested for example: to justify the use of proposed rooms or to explain very special circumstances for otherwise inappropriate development in the Green Belt. This would not need to be a long statement but an explanation proportionate to the nature of the case.
In some cases, where medical supporting information is provided, this needs to be accompanied by the letter from a health profession, such as GP or consultant. The statement / supporting letter should also explain why the existing property is not be suitable in current built form to provide access or amenity to the person and provide clarity in regard to evidence to support/justify adaptations for the person with medical needs.
