What is this referring to Maria?
Is this just access to the pool area or the actual pool (hoist facilities?)
Could this be scaled out to cover communal disabled toilets/changing rooms, ramped areas across a development?
Does this mean that all costs relating to provision of facilities for the disabled are now going to be retrospectively passed on to communities if the developer has not made provision for these facilities from the outset?
Have there not been building regulations in place in recent years Spain to ensure provision of disabled access was the responsibility of the developer from the outset of build (and if there were regulations in place, then when were they introduced?)
Perhaps I have misunderstood?

Good morning, as community do we have to facilitate any disabled/elderly persons by adding roman steps to one of our three pools?

Could you please clarify the responsibility of developers in this scenario Maria. Have there been any regulations in place for developers to make provision of this nature from the outset of build?

The novelty is that access to all commun elements ( including pools) needs to be afforded by communities to the extent of 12 monthly instalments.

Of course developers not meeting old regulations in regards to disabled accesibility, which were understood in a narrower sense, are liable and need to be in charge of any adjustment work.

Should the LFO have been granted if the access arrangements for disabled were not originally implemented by the developer, according to regulations?
Should the architect for the scheme have designed and assured installation of access arrangements within their original plans as part of the construction and building works?
In other words who have ignored the regulations. the architect, the regulatory authority (town hall?), the developer, the building inspector, the Town Hall officer issuing LFO?
