The Planning Inspectorate is pleased to announce that we have successfully gained the RNIB “See it right” accreditation for our web site (www.planning-inspectorate.gov.uk) and our sub sites. This means that we have passed the strict 28 point check list as laid down by the RNIB to ensure our site is accessible to people with visual impairments.

External Links

There are two million people with sight problems in the UK. The planning Inspectorate web site and sub sites have been written in accordance with the RNIB "See it right" guidance for which the Planning Inspectorate has been accredited.

More information on the RNIB and their standards can be found on their web site: http://www.rnib.org

Colour blindness

The site has also been tested for clarity for those who have colour blindness. The following pictures show the homepage when viewed by someone with different colour blindness conditions. The main aim is to ensure that navigation is not obscured because of lack of contrast or two colours appearing to be the same side by side.

Deuteranopia, red/green colour deficit

Protanopia, Another form of red/green colour deficit

Tritanopia, Blue/yellow colour deficit

If you are having problems viewing any pages within the web site please contact the webteam.
