For publication details see the bibliography. ● APPROVED DOCUMENT M (qv), the provisions of which must be heeded in order to comply with the Building Regulations for England and Wales. ● BS 8300, the provisions of which apply to all buildings in the UK. It is an advisory document. ● INCLUSIVE MOBILITY (qv), which is the most authoritative reference for the inclusive design (qv) of pedestrian infrastructure (qv) and transport-related buildings (qv) such as bus and coach stations, railway stations, air terminals, and transport interchanges. It is an advisory document. While the advisory documents above do not have the force of law, conformity with their recommendations will make it easier to demonstrate that the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act have been met. 3 The particular clauses in the above documents which give guidance on the provision of vertical platform lifts are set out below.
