Hi,
my understanding is that, on both counts it's your responsibility to make the adjustments. You may have to ask the Landlord's permission but they cannot unreasonably refuse permission. They are also allowed to specify that you return the parking and the door to their original condition at the end of the lease.
If you don't have disabled staff working there or visiting there and there's no public access you may not have to do any work until there are disabled staff working, or due to start working, there.

Subject: [ACCESSIBUILT] Commercial Landlords, accessible premises
Hi. Can anyone help with this?
The Council has leased part of a building as office premises. The lease
includes 25 standard width parking spaces. I have two queries:
1 Is it up to us, as the tenant, to amend the parking to allow for
an appropriate number of disabled parking bays?
2 The main entrance door to the building (where we are leasing one
storey) may well be too heavy for some disabled staff to open. Does the
landlord have any legal responsibility for providing an accessible
entrance door to the building?
There will not be general public access to the leased area.
Many thanks.
Have a good weekend!
