Of the 14 buildings occupied by the Cabinet Office, eight are considered to be fully accessible and six are considered to be not fully accessible to disabled people. Most of the not fully accessible buildings are listed. Accessibility improvements are being implemented as part of an ongoing rolling programme of work, involving English Heritage and the local planning authority as necessary in the context of making adaptations to the grade 1 and 2 listed buildings.
