The purpose of the Wheelchair housing design guide is to explain how to design and detail a home that is fully manageable by wheelchair users and that maximises their independence.

It is activity based and discusses design considerations, requirements and recommendations for each of fifteen activities carried out within and around the home, rather than presenting plans or preferred solutions.

Checklists are provided.

This second edition takes account of the experience of individual wheelchair users and of practitioners who have used the original guide, and reflects the new level of statutory advancements and societal perceptions of wheelchair standard design in the built environment.

This guide: provides design details and good practice examples which take account of current guidance and regulations; reflects and promotes the values and principles of existing strategies for social inclusion; and promotes the long-term cost benefits and other benefits of designing to wheelchair accessibility standards.
