What if I have a visitor who suffers from Entamaphobia - the fear of

It never started - you only have to make "reasonable provision".
For example if your block of 10 flats doesn't have step free access and
it would cost £60k to put in a ramp (£6k per flat), you don't have to do it.
However a £60k ramp on a block of flats serving 50 flats starts to
become more reasonable, and for a block of 100 flats, it becomes
unreasonable not to make the provision (£600 per flat).
