Here are some of the most common questions we’re asked about fire safety and engineering.
If your scheme is a higher risk building (HRB), you’ll likely need a Gateway One Fire Statement. If you’re developing in Greater London, London Plan Policy D12 may also require a Fire Statement regardless of building category. We can advise which requirements apply, including requirement outside of GLA and Gateway 1.
The earlier on in your project, the better it is for a fire engineer to get involved. Fire safety considerations identified during feasibility can be far more straightforward, and less costly, to address than those raised after a scheme has been designed in detail.
No. A Fire Statement supports your planning application by demonstrating that fire safety has been considered. A detailed fire strategy is typically developed as the project moves into design and construction stages.
