I dont understand all the upset over access ramps. I have one and it was a godsend when moving in (and out). What harm do they do apart from making your property more accessible to everyone and everything? As for the widened doorways - even better, most sofas/fridgefreezers wouldn't go through the old fashioned ones!..........What's the big deal? Surely if a member of your family became disabled you would appreeciate it then....
