Hi Stats Just to explain with regard to your point about equality, the important thing is that the *outcome* for everyone is equal. The *method* of achieving that outcome may indeed be unequal. To give you an example - having accessible parking spaces outside Waitrose is, in itself, unequal treatment because not everyone can park there, only Blue Badge holders. But the equality comes from the fact that, because they can access the store easily, disabled people are able to do their weekly shop with ease, just like everyone else. Hence, in the case of planning, 'disabled or not disabled' (as you put it) *should* affect the planning decision. It doesn't mean you automatically win your case, far from it. But it should be taken into account in making a fair decision.
