What is proposed
Plain-language summary
Rear kitchen window of a ground-floor Albert Street flat could be turned into French doors, giving level garden access and easier wheelchair entry.
As filed with the council
Minor alteration to lower cill of kitchen window to form new door within the current opening (no change to lintel) of ground floor flat in 4 storey tenement to improve the accessibility. Existing steps down through front door before a perpendicular hallway prevents introduction of a wheelchair user ramp. Shared garden space to rear of the property can be access with a simple removable ramp from communal stair corridor. Gentle landscaping can provide level entry at the kitchen.
