What We Do

Access Statements

Proudlock Associates work with developers and architects to deliver meaningful and creative Access Statements to maximise opportunities for inclusion.

Recent revisions to the Building Regulations, Part M, came into effect in May 2004, which amongst other things now require that an Access Statement should be provided for non-domestic buildings where a designer or developer wishes to depart from the guidance contained within the approved document.

Access Statements are also used for planning applications to show the philosophy and approach used to provide inclusive design and the key issues of the particular project. They are to be considered a useful tool in all buildings, particularly where constraints of the building structure prevent full access being attainable.
