This part only applies to new buildings other than dwellings, and buildings undergoing a material change of use. Toilet accommodation in non-residential buildings is required to be separate single-sex toilets, with single-sex shared or individual hand-washing facilities. Universal toilets can be provided in addition to single-sex provision and where space allows. Where there is not sufficient space to provide single-sex toilets, fully enclosed universal toilets should be provided.
