The Disability Discrimination Act, 1995 outlines the requirement that service providers may have to make 'reasonable adjustments' in relation to the physical features of their property to overcome physical barriers to enable access for disabled people.
Following our brief inspection of the property, we were not aware of any major issues that would give a user of this building opportunity to make a claim against the owner under the Act.

In the years 1992/1993, it appears that several applications were made to the Forest of Dean District Council for alterations, car parking and outbuildings of which alterations have taken place assuming planning permission has been granted.
