SD2 Shop front access

The council will expect new or altered shop fronts to accommodate the needs of disabled people.

In particular the following should be taken into account:

  • Doorways should therefore be at least 800mm wide, should have doors that are easy to open and should provide a level entrance or a non-slip ramp within the unit
  • Entrance doors should be clearly distinguished from their surroundings.
  • Vision strips should be introduced on large unbroken areas of glazing.
