Providing public disabled access for buildings is
a legal requirement.
This is required under the
Disability
Discrimination Act with an access statement required to be
submitted with all planning and building regulation
applications.
Access statements outline how access will be provided for
Disabled people when alterations to buildings or new building work
are proposed as part of these kinds of applications.
These documents must be included as part of any planning or
building regulation applications or the application will not be
registered and no will be action taken until a valid statement is
provided.
The statements are also useful to assist with the planning of a
range of works to buildings and services.
