Guest Craig Posted February 12, 2018 Report Posted February 12, 2018 Hi Are flat balconies covered by the rro? Would the fire risk assessment need to include the balconies and consider the risk of fire from the balconies? thanks Quote
Tom Sutton Posted February 14, 2018 Report Posted February 14, 2018 Are these balconies private or are they used in common. Quote
Guest Craig Posted February 17, 2018 Report Posted February 17, 2018 They are Private balconies Quote
Tom Sutton Posted February 19, 2018 Report Posted February 19, 2018 If they are private balconies then they do not form part of the common area therefore are not subject to the RR(FS)O. Quote
Guest Craig Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 so am I right in thinking they wouldn’t need to be covered in the FRA? Even if looking at the building from the exterior? Im thinking of residents storing materials on the balconies? Quote
Tom Sutton Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 Private balconies are not covered by The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 only the common areas but fall within The Housing Act therefore you have no powers to require them to do anything. Quote
