Subject: FW: Part M of the 1985 Building Act enforcement - UK
Hi does anyone on our list have an answer for this person. I would also
be interested to see any responses as well as sending them to him.
I assume he is referring to alterations to existing buildings where
section 0.6 states "When a building is altered there is no obligation to
improve access and facilities for disabled people. However the level of
provision after alteration should not be any worse. Facilities may be
moved but their suitability and access to them should not be reduced."
Cheers

Part M of the 1985 Building Act enforcement
AFAIK part of the Act requires for there to be no reduction in access
features. I know of at least five local examples where the Act has been
broken.
Does anyone know of any prosecutions under this act?
Where they successful?
Who can take out legal actions under this Act?
