Pathway width and accessibility requirements
Pathways to dwellings must be accessible to all users including wheelchair users. They must have a minimum unobstructed width of 900mm, with consideration given to wider dimensions (1.5m for wheelchair alongside pedestrian, 2m for two wheelchairs side by side).
Pathways providing access to dwellings should be designed to be accessible for all users, included wheelchair users and those with limited abilities or sensory impairments. Pathways should meet the requirements of criterion a. (see Section entitled 'Parking surface') and at a minimum, must have an unobstructed width of not less than 900mm to accommodate wheelchair users. However, consideration should be given to larger widths to accommodate a wheelchair user alongside a pedestrian (1.5m) or two wheelchair users/two persons, side by side (2m).
