FAQ's

In most cases, planning permission is not required for a domestic access ramp. Many ramps fall under permitted development, particularly when they are modest in size and designed to provide safe access. However, permission may be needed for listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, or where the ramp significantly alters the front elevation. If required, we can help explain what is usually involved, but any formal planning decision sits with the local authority.
Handrails are recommended for safety where ramps are longer, steeper, or used by wheelchair users or those who are unsteady on their feet. As a general guide, ramps with a rise of less than 600mm may not require handrails, particularly where surrounding ground levels are raised and there is no exposed edge. However, handrails are often considered best practice, and we will always advise on the safest and most appropriate arrangement for each installation.
