New homes - enhancing accessibility, adaptability and usability: consultation analysis
Analysis of consultation responses on proposals to improve the accessibility, adaptability and usability of new homes in Scotland, informing the development of a Scottish Accessible Homes Standard.
Part of
Appendix B: Quantitative analysis
Introduction
The consultation included 52 closed questions which asked respondents for their views on the range of proposals included in the consultation paper. This appendix details the responses to these questions. Of the 52 closed questions:
- thirty-four presented respondents with proposals and asked if they agreed with all or some of the proposals, or if they disagreed or were neutral. It should be noted that two questions (Question 1 and Question 39) were variations of this question, with an option to agree that not all clauses should be included and two disagree options for either some or all clauses to be included
- seven (Question 4, Question 8, Question 12, Question 23, Question 24, Question 30, and Question 33) presented respondents with a specific proposal and asked if they agreed, disagreed or were neutral
- eleven (Question 40, Question 41, and Question 44 onwards) asked if respondents had any further feedback or comments on the proposals, with Yes, No and Do not know/no opinion answer options
Not all respondents answered every question; the number who responded to each question are included in the following tables, and in the tables presented in the main body of the report.
To compare across sub-groups, the tables below present the results of the 52 closed questions based on those who answered each question. However, for clarity we include both the number answering (Base n=) and percentage response rate (% Answering, or % RR) for each question.
The summary tables below are provided to enable an easy comparison across questions. These are based on respondents who gave an answer to each question and present the percentage of this group who selected each answer option at each question.
Following the summary tables are 52 separate tables for each closed questions included in the consultation. The tables for each question show:
- The number of respondents from the total sample of 114 respondents who selected each response, and the corresponding percentage.
- The number and percentage response among those answering each question, broken down by individual and organisation responses and by type of organisation.
Please note that the row percentages may not add to 100% due to rounding.
Summary tables
The following tables are a summary of % response among all answering each question. (Many consultation questions include detailed descriptions of clauses and proposals that are too lengthy to include in this table in full. However, the full text of each question is included in the main body of the report and in the detailed response tables later in this Appendix.)
Table notes
- ‘Base n=’ means the number of each group answering for each question
- where applicable, the wording in column headings have been changed from the original ‘don’t’ in the question paper, to ‘do not’

Question 16. How do you feel about the proposal to update clauses 10.2.1, 10.2.2 and 10.2.3 of the current guide:
- to require that corridors in individual dwellings should be at least 1200mm wide
- to require that other than on a wall opposite a doorway, an obstruction such as a radiator should project by no more than 100mm, reducing the corridor width to not less than 1100mm over a maximum length of 1200mm
- to include reference within the updated guide to the fact that, in cases where a corridor has an exposed right angle turn, a splay of 200mm to 300mm at the corner would allow easier circulation?

Question 26. In cases where a wet floor shower facility is not provided in the dwelling, how do you feel about the proposal to update clause 14.2.6 of the current guide to require:
- that an electrical connection and a capped drainage connection should be installed in the main bathroom to allow for its future installation
- that the floor build up in the proposed area for a future wet floor shower should be able to accommodate a tray former and associated plumbing with minimal disruption at a later date
- that if the floor is of solid concrete construction, a dropped section should be built in to meet the requirement of the second bullet point above
- that adjacent walls should be of robust construction to be capable of supporting a shower screen to enclose the shower area or grab rails if required?

Question 27. How do you feel about the proposal to update clause 14.8.2 of the current guide to require:
- that accessible sanitary accommodation located on the principal living level, where the accessible bath or shower is located on another level, should be capable of being adapted to accommodate a future shower or form a larger space for wheelchair users at a later date
- that this space allowance should contain an electrical connection and a capped drainage connection
- that the floor build up in the proposed area for a future wet floor shower should be able to accommodate a tray former and associated plumbing with minimal disruption at a later date
- that if the floor is of solid concrete construction, then a dropped section should be built in to meet the requirement of the third bullet point above
- that adjacent walls should be of robust construction to be capable of supporting a shower screen to enclose the shower area or grab rails if required.

Question 28. How do you feel about the proposal to update clause 14.9.1 of the current guide:
- to require that the layout and dimensions of the bathroom should allow for a wet floor shower area with floor gulley, a wash-hand basin and WC and their associated activity spaces
- if no bath is provided, to require that space, plumbing and drainage allowances should be made to facilitate the future installation of a bath
- to require that activity spaces should not overlap the space allocated for a future bath
- to require that the bathroom must have a sealed impermeable floor and all fittings must be of a design to suit wheelchair use
- to include within the updated guide reference to the fact that it is beneficial if bathrooms in dwellings within a development contain different layouts to allow for different hand preference?

Question 29. How do you feel about the proposal to update clause 14.9.2 of the current guide:
- to require that the space in the bathroom should allow for someone in a wheelchair to turn through 180o, that is a circular area of 1800mm diameter, without being impeded by the door
- to include within the updated guide reference to the fact that, except in very large bathrooms, this is helped by the door opening outwards, or by the use of sliding or pocket doors as an alternative to hinged doors – but only in cases where the use of sliding or pocket doors would be appropriate for the needs of the household
- to require that the plan of the dwelling should ensure that if the door opens outwards this does not cause a hazard
- to require that there is space for a helper alongside a wheelchair in the bathroom
- to require that the allowance for a turning circle should not overlap the wet floor shower area or the area identified for the installation of a bath (where no bath is provided)?
