Where a wheelchair-accessible WC door has to open inwards, Part M would
appear to suggest a wheelchair turning space of 1500mm clear of doorswing
and this would seem sensible. However, in exceptional circumstances, does
anyone think that the 1100 x 700 clear space mentioned in BS8300 12.4.7
would work in practice?
