Accessibility for People with Disabilities in Listed Buildings
The Department recognises the importance of providing dignified and easy access for people with disabilities to listed buildings, and will take a sympathetic and flexible approach when considering applications for listed building consent where accessibility requirements are integrated with conservation of the building's special interest.
The Department recognises the importance of allowing people with disabilities dignified and easy access to and within listed buildings. If access requirements are treated in an integrated and systematic way, and a flexible and pragmatic approach is taken, then it is normally possible to plan suitable access for people with disabilities without compromising a listed building's special interest. In the case of a disabled person living in a listed building, then the Department will be sympathetic to their special needs when considering applications for listed building consent.
