H6c Accessibility

All development will be required to meet and maintain high standards of accessibility so all users can use them safely and easily. Development will need to meet at least category 2 accessible and adaptable dwellings standards unless it is unviable to do so which will need to be demonstrated by the applicant and independently assessed. A minimum of 15% of Affordable Housing provided on housing sites will be required to be nominated by the LPA for M4(3) wheelchair accessible housing (dependant on the suitability of the site to accommodate wheelchair users and its proximity to services and facilities and public transport) unless it is unviable to do so which will need to be demonstrated by the applicant and independently assessed.

In such cases wheelchair accessible housing means a dwelling which meets the requirements contained in Part M4(3)(1)(a) and (b) and Part M4(3)(2)(b) for wheelchair accessible dwellings as contained in Category 3 – wheelchair user dwellings of Schedule 1 of the Building Regulations 2010 as amended.

This policy will continue to apply to the nearest equivalent standards in any future modification to the above Building Regulations Approved Documents.
