520			_aDescribes and evaluates the reactions and responses of house builders in England and Wales to government regulation concerning disabled people's physical access to new housing. Discusses the role and relevance of government regulation in respect of housing quality and specifically of the housing needs of disabled people. Assesses the impact and implications of Part M of the Building Regulations, referring to a postal survey of and interview data from house builders. Concludes that housing policy must address simultaneously house builders' concerns about Part M and the as yet unmet needs of disabled people for good quality, accessible housing. Tables cover the main features of Part M, number of builders by size category: 2001 and responses to questions in the author's house builder survey. References. [Taken from journal abstract].
