520			_aODPM has published new guidance to ensure that newly constructed public and commercial buildings make access easier for all by providing level entrances and facilities such as automatic doors, audio enhancement and clearer signage. Existing buildings, when they are altered or undergo certain changes of use will also be affected by this guidance. The proposals relate to Part M of the Building Regulations 2000, bringing the regulations into line with BS 8300: 2001 and support the aims of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Approved Document M (2004 Edition) and ODPM circular 11/2003 are available at http://www.odpm.gov.uk/stellent/groups/odpm_buildreg/documents/page/odpm_breg_025494.hcsp and http://www.odpm.gov.uk/pns/DisplayPN.cgi?pn_id=2003_0229. The Building (Amendment) Regulations 2003 SI 2003: 2692 are available at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/2692/contents/made.
