What is a Fire Statement?

London Plan Policy D12 requires development proposals to achieve the highest standards of fire safety. All major developments are therefore required to be submitted with a Fire Statement.

A Fire Statement is a standalone document which defines the fire safety objectives and the performance requirements of the proposed development. The Fire Statement must demonstrate how the proposed development responds to the requirements set out by London Plan Policy D12.

It will contain excerpts from the plans to assist in its use as a standalone document.
