What is a D12 Fire Statement?

Simply put, a D12 Fire Statement is a detailed report required for certain planning applications. It proves that you have thought about fire safety before you even start building. This document looks at how fire engines will access the site, how people will escape if a fire starts, and what water supplies are available to put out a blaze.

By working with our expert fire safety consultants, you can rest easy knowing that every detail is covered. We know exactly what local planning authorities look for. We structure your report to meet all the necessary D12 fire statement requirements, giving your planning application the highest chance of success the first time around.

Proudly Supporting Dover’s Development

Dover is a town with a rich history, known globally for its iconic White Cliffs and its status as a major port. But it is also a town looking to the future, with ongoing regeneration and exciting new property developments. Building in a coastal town with varying landscapes, historic infrastructure, and busy transport links presents unique architectural challenges.

Whether you are developing properties near the bustling Port of Dover or working on residential projects closer to the historic Dover Castle, fire safety is paramount. The steep gradients in some parts of the town mean that fire engine access must be planned incredibly carefully. Our team of fire safety experts understands these unique local factors. We tailor your D12 Fire Statement to reflect the exact geographic and structural realities of building in Dover, ensuring your project passes smoothly through the planning stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
