DM03: Accessibility and Inclusive Design

Development proposals should meet the highest standards of accessible and inclusive design by demonstrating that they meet the following principles:

  1. can be used safely, easily and with dignity by all regardless of disability, age, gender, ethnicity or economic circumstances
  2. are convenient and welcoming with no disabling barriers, so everyone can use them independently without undue effort, separation or special treatment
  3. are flexible and responsive taking account of what different people say they need and want, so people can use them in different ways
  4. are realistic, offering more than one solution to help balance everyone’s needs, recognising that one solution may not work for all.
