This report examines one aspect of the regulation of accessibility, namely Part M of the Building Regulations (the section on access and use for people with disabilities). To set this in context, this introduction summarises where these regulations fit into the overall system of regulation of building and development, and briefly describes the scope and coverage of Part M.
