Guest Darren Posted May 14, 2023 Report Posted May 14, 2023 I am converting a two storey 5 bedroom house to a residential children's care home. Does the stair need to be protected or can it be open plan if the layout and stair location meet the Small Premises criteria in ADB? Quote
Mike North Posted May 15, 2023 Report Posted May 15, 2023 If it is a residential children’s care home, why would you not protect the stairwell. Quote
AnthonyB Posted May 15, 2023 Report Posted May 15, 2023 No. You are changing from Purpose Group 1 to Purpose Group 2 and come under Volume 2 of ADB where paragraphs 2.33 - 2.46 take precedence. Quote
