Publisher's Synopsis
This new edition of Designing for Accessibility is an up-to-date and user-friendly good practice guide based on the 2004 Approved Document M and BS 8300:2001, in the context of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA). It includes extensive plans and dimensional data illustrating internal and external features that commonly need attention in public buildings. The design recommendations occasionally go beyond those specified in Part M and BS 8300, reflecting good practice derived from user experience, good design and, where possible, empirical research.
