Planning and access for disabled people: a good practice guide
This
good practice guide is produced by the UK government, and stems from a recommendation
of the Disability Rights Task Force.
The guide describes how all those involved in the development process can play
their part in delivering physical environments which can be used by everyone.
It encourages local planning authorities and developers to consider access for
disabled people, and stresses the importance of early consultation with disabled
people, when formulating development plans and preparing planning applications.
It also explains the relevant legislation and policy frameworks, shows how local
planning authorities can put in place appropriate planning policies and development
control processes, and suggests ways in which these can be implemented and enforced
effectively. It pinpoints the role of developers and occupiers and underlines
the benefits to them in providing environments which are accessible and inclusive.
