Category 3 Bathrooms should provide a 1500mm turning circle free of low-level obstruction that provides 360’ access and movement for a wheelchair user. Ellipses are not used to demonstrate compliance in bathroom, cloak room or wet rooms.
Category 3 bedrooms require that a 1200mm manoeuvring square is used to make reasonable provision for space around beds and between doors and other bedroom furniture.
In living areas / the lounge of a Category 3 dwelling, either a 1400x1700 ellipse or the 1500mm turning circle can be used to demonstrate a reasonable manoeuvring zone.
