520 _aDiscusses the evolution of the disabled access statement. Examines how its role will extend from the early planning stages of environmental design to potentially connect with aspects of the government's planning and sustainable communities programmes and the Disability Rights Commission's (DRC) vision for an inclusive society. Looks at the building control aspect of access and how it relates to the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. Highlights the role of the DRC and stresses the access statement should be a document which grows with the project. Underlines the need for consultation to take place early in the development process. Concludes the access statement will evolve to develop the role that inclusive environments play in creating and maintaining socially inclusive sustainable communities.
