Plan Alterations | Part M Adherence

In the lobby before entering the toilets, there was not enough space for a full turning circle required by Part M regulations of 1500mm in all directions, with the toilet doors blocking the turning circle.

This was amended by making the staircase core smaller, as it was oversized, allowing me to push the wall back in the restroom lobby, allowing for a full, unobstructed 1500mm turning circle

Before entering the lifts, there is a narrow circulation space which was not part M compliant as the turning circle overlapped with the lift and interior walls.

To counter this, I reduced the size of the lift from 2100mmx2100mm to 2000x1600, which allowed me to open up the circulation space allowing for a full turning circle, and still keeping a part M compliant lift.
