Technical standards for wheelchair housing rooms

While the space standards are not prescriptive in terms of individual room sizes, guidance on desirable technical standards for individual rooms which may prove useful in developing proposals is available, alongside other design guidance, from the Department of Communities' (DfC) Housing Association Guide (HAG) and Homes for Intermediate Rent Design Standards. Balconies are excluded from the desirable space standards, and where provided, should accord with the guidance set out in Section 3.1.66.
