To meet high fire safety standards in Southwark, big developments must complete a fire statement.
You must refer to the London Plan Policy D12 (B) about:
- the building construction methods, products and materials used (including manufacturer details) how people will escape from the building
- how stair cores are designed
- how disabled users escape from the building
- level access and associated evacuation strategy
- features that reduce the risk to life (fire alarm systems, passive and active fire safety measures)
- providing access for fire service personnel and equipment
- how fire appliances can access the building
- making sure future modifications do not compromise the base build fire safety and protection measures
