What this policy is about

Policy C6 requires all buildings and places in Camden to be designed with accessible and inclusive features, such as easy access routes and facilities for people with disabilities, to ensure everyone can use them safely and with dignity.

Plain-English summary of the adopted policy text below. The full text is the rule; this is the gist.

The policy — as adopted

Access for all

The Council will seek to promote fair access and remove the barriers that prevent everyone from accessing facilities and opportunities. We will: a. expect all buildings and places to meet the highest practicable standards of accessible and inclusive design so they can be used safely, easily and with dignity by all; b. expect facilities to be located in the most accessible parts of the borough; c. expect spaces, routes and facilities between buildings to be designed to be fully accessible; d. encourage accessible public transport; and e. secure car parking for disabled people. The Council will seek to ensure that development meets the principles of lifetime neighbourhoods.

Citations, officer spread, ward and application-type counts parsed from published Camden decision notices (high-confidence parses, approvals and refusals), joined to the canonical application record. One citation = one decision citing the policy. See the policy overview for every policy cited.

Atlas intelligence summarises patterns and observations from published planning records. Past decisions do not indicate how any future application will be determined. Every application is assessed on its own merits, having regard to the proposal, site, evidence and policies applying at the time.
