Easily adaptable definition

Easily adaptable for the purposes of this SPD means that the home is designed from the outset with suitable accessibility, storage capacity, refuse storage, approach space to facilities and furniture, and circulation as defined by the SELHP Wheelchair Homes Design Guidelines, that enables later minor alterations to be easily undertaken to suit individual needs. Easily adaptable units should not require structural alterations (such as removing walls or widening doorways) or alterations to services to make it suitable for wheelchair users, but it might require minor alterations such as installing grab rails, replacing a bath with a shower or changing the kitchen bench and cabinets.
