    Provision of lifts

    Just nocticed min. length of disabled toilets increased from 2m to 2.2m.
    It's hard enough to find 2m depth for toilets + lobby in some tight buildings, but I'm sure they have their reasons.

    I imagine this is based on the minimum width, ie projections no longer allowed into the minimum width zone. And would apply to a 3m wide corridor

    1.3.3.a refers

    Projections into the minimum width - not actual corridor width - are out

    so if the corridor witdh is oversized - you could have projections

    Good design should eliminate these projections anyhow in all cases for the sake of the poorly sighted . But the draft regs are not saying this .
