Borough premises situated in: Croydon
Responsibility of person on whom notice served: Owner
Applicable legislation: Article 29: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
The specific matters which, in the opinion of the Commissioner, constitute such a risk are: 1. The general fire precautions in the premises include a fire safety engineered solution to provide a combination of both passive and active protection to structural elements via linings (e.g. plasterboard), mechanical smoke ventilation and automatic water suppression. The correct function of the engineered solution is reliant on the existing structure, layout, services, fittings, equipment and the fire loading in or on the premises being controlled and maintained. Changes to the above matters are likely to result in the fire engineered solution ceasing to provide necessary protection for relevant persons; in particular, the necessity for: a. The continuing availability and full operational design effectiveness of the premises smoke control and automatic water suppression systems. b. The protection to all structural elements (e.g. plasterboard) to be maintained without any breaches. 2. A change in the use or classification of the premises from the existing purpose group Residential (dwellings) 1(a) Flat as defined by Table 0.1, Classification of purpose groups, Approved Document B Volume 1: Dwellings 2019 edition.
