Understanding Your Fire Safety Requirements

A D12 fire statement is an independent technical report that details how a proposed development will function in the event of a fire. It is designed to prove to the local planning authority that fire safety has been considered from the very earliest stages of design, rather than treated as an afterthought.

This document covers several vital areas. It outlines how fire engines will access the property, how residents or occupants will evacuate safely, and how the building’s construction materials will resist the spread of flames. By engaging a professional fire safety consultancy, you ensure that all these critical elements are addressed thoroughly. We examine your architectural plans and compile detailed fire safety reports that demonstrate your full commitment to occupant safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a D12 fire statement?
It is a formal planning document required for certain developments, outlining the fire safety measures incorporated into the building’s design. It ensures emergency access, safe evacuation routes, and suitable construction materials are planned for from the start.

Do I definitely need one for my project?
If your property falls under specific planning policies (such as the London Plan), or involves significant structural changes or new builds, it is highly likely. We can review your plans and advise you on exactly what documentation your local authority requires.

How long does it take to prepare the documentation?
The timeframe depends on the size and complexity of your project. However, our specialist fire consultants work efficiently to ensure your planning application is not delayed. We will provide a clear timeline when you first enquire.

Can you work directly with my architect?
Absolutely. We frequently collaborate with architects, builders, and project managers to integrate fire safety strategies seamlessly into the overall design, preventing costly redesigns later in the process.

What happens if the planning authority rejects the statement?
Because we provide meticulous, compliant reports based on current regulations, rejections are incredibly rare. However, should the planning department have any queries, we will liaise with them directly to resolve the matter quickly.
