520			_aPresents the findings of a survey carried out to discover how building control officers felt about Part M of the Building Regulations and its implications. Part M has been in place for just under three years and requires house builders to construct new dwellings to standards that allow disabled people to visit a house and have access to a ground level living area and toilet. The survey found that while many respondents feel that Part M is an adequate regulation it does have shortcomings and is limited in application. The majority of building control officers complained about the quality of advice and guidance in the Approved Document, particularly that on toilet provision. The survey also revealed that builders were unhappy about the provisions of Part M and had incomplete knowledge of the regulation. Finally, 70% of respondents said they would like to see changes to Part M. Tables.
