Lifetime Homes
Criterion 3
Approach to the home
What is required?
As with the footpath from the car parking, footpaths approaching the home should be level or gently sloping with no steps.
Why is this important?
When the approach to the home is not from a car parking space (as above), it makes getting to the home as easy as possible for everyone – the lack of steps or slope helps with carrying luggage or children, pushing buggies or bikes, and makes it easier if you’re less agile.
