Reference: Ley 8/1995, de 6 de abril, de Accesibilidad y Supresión de Barreras Físicas y de la Comunicación

Reference information:
Artículo 4. Niveles de accesibilidad.
Se calificarán los espacios, instalaciones, edificaciones o servicios, atendiendo a sus niveles de accesibilidad en: adaptados, practicables y convertibles.

1. Adaptado.–Un espacio, instalación o servicio se considera adaptado si se ajusta a los requerimientos funcionales y dimensionales que garanticen su utilización autónoma y con comodidad por las personas con limitación, movilidad o comunicación reducida.

Tales requerimientos funcionales y dimensionales serán los establecidos en las normas de desarrollo de esta Ley.

2. Practicable.–Un espacio, instalación o servicio se considera practicable cuando, sin ajustarse a todos los requerimientos que lo califiquen como adaptado, no impide su utilización de forma autónoma a las personas con limitación o movilidad o comunicación reducida.

3. Convertible.–Un espacio, instalación o servicio se considera convertible cuando, mediante modificaciones de escasa entidad y bajo coste, que no afecten a su configuración esencial, puede transformarse en adaptado o, como mínimo, en practicable.

Requirements of Part M Building Regulations for Dwellings
The updates made means that Volume 1 of Part M Building Regulations is now divided into three main sections. These sections cover the requirements of new developments in regards to accessibility. These requirements are as follows:

M4(1) Category 1- Visitable dwellings
This is a compulsory requirement for new buildings, and is only deemed to be fulfilled where any new dwellings make reasonable provisions for most people – this includes wheelchair users and people with limited mobility. Ensuring that they are able to enter the building and any rooms or facilities on the entrance level.

M4(2) Category 2 – Accessible and adaptable dwellings
This is an optional requirement dependent on planning policy and developer discretion. This requirement is only considered to be met when new dwellings also incorporate features that make a dwelling more suitable for a greater proportion of people – including older people, individuals with limited mobility and wheelchair users.

M4(3) Category 3 – Wheelchair user dwellings
Similar to category M4(2), category M4(3) is also not a mandatory requirement, rather, it is a requirement that depends on planning and developer discretion. This requirement is only considered to be met where the parking and communal outside areas of the dwelling are made reasonably accessible for wheelchair users which live in the development.
