Representation Summary:

Paragraph 207 states that: Policy P4E requires ‘wheelchair adaptable’ as ‘wheelchair accessible’ only applies where the Council is responsible for allocating or nominating an individual. This is generally the correct approach given PPG/Bregs guidance. However (a) the use of the word “as” does not make statement clear and (b) this is not clearly stated in the policy as inferred by Para 207 and ought to be as the policy is quite wide ranging

Change suggested by respondent:

That Policy P4E be amended to additionally state

Policy P4E requires ‘wheelchair adaptable’ (M4(3)a) and ‘wheelchair accessible’ (M4(3)b) only applies where the Council is responsible for allocating or nominating an individual


That Paragraph 207 be amended accordingly
