Policy should be amended to reflect changes to Building Regulations
19. Last year the Government published its response to the consultation on the building regulations governing accessibility - Part M . This response states that the Government will make part M4(2) the mandatory standard. Whilst this is still to be introduced, given the likelihood that the Government will make M4(2) the mandatory standard we would recommend that the Council amend its policy accordingly to ensure no unnecessary repetition of building regulations within planning policy.
Policy should be amended to reflect changes to Building Regulations, ensure no unnecessary repetition of building regulations within planning policy.
