Mr. Karl Deeter:

Right now, if one wanted to turn a Georgian building into four good size apartments, one would never get over the Part M disability access because it is a material alteration. Even if someone let one put a ramp up to the house, the conservationists would jump up and down and have one shut down. I know we keep talking about a shortage of housing supply. In a way, we do not have a shortage. We have a shortage of usable housing supply because there is a huge amount of dereliction and unuse throughout the city. Utilising that would get one around a lot of these things.
