Hi everyone We have a small mid-terraced property that we need to make more wheelchair friendly. Amongst other things, we were hoping to enlarge the existing small porch at the front, right across the front, to provide storage for an outdoor wheelchair. It would enclose the front door and the lounge window. But I think I read somewhere that buildings regs does not permit the only window to a room being enclosed in a porch. Am I right? And if so, why does a conservatory not fall under this rule? Many thanksporch-planning .pdf

We are in last minute re-design territory. Very gently Debbie almost managed to slide the term 'hidden door' past me. Almost. She's losing her touch. To cover my OhFGSness, and lying a little too easily through my teeth, I said, that would be no problem. Well it is a problem. Loads on YooChube, though. The design brief is to incorporate (hide) the door in a simple set of shelves; the aperture is more than wide enough to allow a wheelchair through. Ideas? Horror stories? Anyone made one, perhaps?
