Lift access - Design for future adaptation
Dwellings should be designed to allow future installation of a through-floor lift with adequate circulation space for wheelchair users and people with limited mobility to manoeuvre, approach, call and operate the lift.
Dwellings should be designed for easy adaptation to accommodate future provision for the installation of a through-floor lift and connecting circulation spaces at each level. Circulation spaces should be sufficient for wheelchair users, and others with limited mobility, to manoeuvre and approach the lift, to call it and operate the lift door.
