### Fire Safety Officer'S Report

I AM CONCERNED THAT THE OPEN PLAN NATURE OF THE INTERNAL STAIRCASE IS INHERENTLY UNSAFE FROM A FIRE SAFETY VIEWPOINT. A FIRE STARTING WITHIN THE GROUND FLOOR STUDY I KITCHEN MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO TRAP PERSONS ON THE UPPER FLOOR. I RECOMMEND A DOOR BE PROVIDED SEPARATING THE STAIRCASE FROM THE STUDY I KITCHEN I DINING ROOM.

Inspecting Officer P.M. Quayle Date 24.11.06
Recommend: Approve / Defer / Refusal
