Anna, BS-8300 states (sec 4.1.2.2) "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." This is minimum proportion and anything on top of that is a bonus. Hope that helps.

Can anyone remind me of the recommended proportion of accessible bays within a staff/visitor car park? I'd be interested in both minimums and best practice numbers.
