Future provision for accessible shower space
Entrance level WC spaces should be designed with sufficient area to accommodate a future level access shower and associated drainage, either within the WC or in an adjacent space created by a dividing wall and separate doorway. This provision must be clearly identified on planning application drawings.
In addition to NI Building Regulations requirements, space should be sufficient to meet potential future need for the addition of a level access shower and associated drainage, either within the WC or adjacent to it through erection of a dividing wall and separate doorway. This should be identified clearly on drawings submitted as part of any planning application.
