Where this is not possible refer to 1.3.4.4 internal ramps;

In addition to the provision of a passenger lift, at least one internal stairs suitable for ambulant disabled people should also be provided as an alternative means of vertical access. Refer to 1.3.4.3 for details.

If a change in level is unavoidable within a storey a gentle slope should be provided (refer to 1.3.3.3 (d)).
