yep. The regs are designed for people with impaired mobility, not able bodied.
There's lots of little annoying things in the regs, but they sure do allow disabled people access far easier than without.
I spent some time with 2 broken legs in an 1970's house with no downstairs loo so I appreciate them.
you are gonna get old and you never know when you're gonna appreciate them.
I guess the big bridges are the ones IE had planning troubles with. a refurb wouldn't have to meet the regs.
