Hi John
I would have thought that the guidance in Inclusive Mobility section 2.2
would cover those as it states that any obstruction over the footway should
be at a height of minimum 2100mm.
I find these canopies to be a real problem to visually impaired people
unless of course the retailer is also obstructing the pavement underneath
the canopy with identifiable tables loaded with goods.
Regards
Elaine Pinkney
