Plan Consultation and Preparation Service

Fire Safety Matters

Premises Licence

Under the Licensing Act 2003, any person wishing to use their premises for licensable activities will be required to make their application in a new format. Part 3, Section 17 of the act states that all applications MUST be accompanied 'by a plan of the premises to which the application relates, in the prescribed form'.

At Lawes Marsh we can provide plans for this purpose, detailing all required fire safety information thereby helping to ensure a trouble free application process.

Building Regulations

When application is made for building regulations approval to the Local Authority Building Control Officer, a statutory consultation takes place between Building Control and the Fire Service.

The purpose of this consultation is to allow the Fire Service to detail any further fire safety requirements they deem necessary under existing Fire Safety legislation.

These consultations will often result in amended plans having to be submitted to satisfy local authority requirements, causing both considerable added expense and delays in gaining approval for the project.

How Can We Help?

At Lawes Marsh we can inspect building plans prior to formal submission and detail what requirements the Fire Service would make, thereby ironing out any problems at this preliminary stage. Our consultants have considerable experience in this field, having served within a local authority Fire Service as Senior Inspecting Officers.

This service includes:

  • Full plans inspection.
  • Detailed report on anticipated requirements regarding all fire safety matters.
  • Facility for direct liaison with Enforcing Bodies.

Please contact us to discuss this service and your requirements in more detail.
