Laurence Robertson – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Laurence Robertson on 2015-10-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will amend building regulations to ensure that building extensions are fully accessible for people with disabilities.

James Wharton

Part M of the Building Regulations requires that extensions to buildings other than dwellings provide suitable independent access to an extension where reasonably practicable. These requirements do not apply to extensions to dwellings, however. We have no plans to amend the Regulations but will keep this under review.
