Hi Alan
The British Standard document BS8300:2001 gives guidance on this topic
as follows:
Workplaces:
For workplaces where the number of employees who are disabled motorists
is known, the minimum number of designated spaces should be one space
for each employee who is a disabled motorist, plus at least one space or
2% of the total capacity, whichever is the greater, for visiting
disabled motorists, with a minimum of one space.
For workplaces where the number of employees who are disabled motorists
is not known, at least one space or 5% of the total parking capacity
should be designated as parking for disabled motorists (to include both
employees and visitors), whichever is the greater.
Shopping, recreation and leisure facilities:
For shopping, recreation and leisure facilities, the minimum number of
designated spaces should be one space for each employee who is a
disabled motorist, plus 6% of the total capacity for visiting disabled
motorists.
(Note: The numbers of designated spaces may need to be greater at hotels
and sports stadia that specialise in accommodating groups of disabled
people).
Railway car parks:
For railway car parks, the minimum number of designated spaces should be
one space for each employee who is a disabled motorist, plus 5% of the
total capacity for visiting disabled motorists.
Churches:
At least two parking spaces designated for use by disabled motorists
should be provided in car parking facilities at churches.
Crematoria and cemetery chapels:
A minimum of two parking spaces designated for use by disabled motorists
should be provided as close as possible to the assembly point of a
crematorium or cemetery chapel.
The document also has a layout that shows a 1200 mm wide safety zone for
boot access and cars with rear hoists.
I hope that this information is of some assistance.

Hi
The Dft Traffic Advisory Leaflet 05/95 "Parking for Disabled People"
says 2 bays or 5% whichever is the greater for car parks with up to 200
bays and 6 bays plus 2% for car parks over 200 bays. The leaflet can be
found here http://tinyurl.com/2vedcs . The guidance doesn't appear to
allow for a 1200mm zone at the rear of the bay for vehicles with a tail
lift though...... and still refers to the "Orange" Badge......
Bay size and design can be found in Building Regs Part M, Diagram 2 and
also BS 8300:2001, Figures 2 & 3.....
I'd be interested to know of more recent guidance on percentages if
anyone knows of any......
Regards
Alan Hunt

Subject: Disabled parking bays
Hi. Please could someone confirm the percentage of spaces in an office
car park which must be designated for disabled parking/ Also, must all
the spaces be of a specified size? I have a situation where a manager
would like some of the spaces to be narrowing than others.
Many thanks.
Kind regards.
