Navigating the rules around building and property development can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to fire safety.

What is a D12 Fire Statement?

In simple terms, a D12 Fire Statement is a formal report required by local planning authorities to ensure that fire safety is considered right from the very start of a building project. It shows the planning department that your proposed development is designed with the safety of its future occupants in mind.

The report looks at how people will escape in an emergency, how fire engines will access the building, and what safety features will be built into the structure. Getting this right is crucial, and relying on our fire safety experts ensures your application meets all the necessary legal standards without any unnecessary delays.

It covers the essential fire safety design of a building, including how fire engines will get to the property, how people will safely evacuate, and what fire safety systems (like alarms or sprinklers) will be installed.

2. Do I need a D12 statement for a small home extension?
It depends on the specific guidelines of your local planning authority and the size of the extension. It is always best to check with a professional to see if your specific project triggers the requirement.
