Request

Please advise a list of all multi-storey and basement public car parks within the Royal Borough which do not meet current Document B vol. 2 fire requirements (2019 edition with 2020 amendments). 

If there are any, please advise if there are any plans to make these car parks compliant. 

For the avoidance of doubt, approved Document B requires 60 minutes fire resistance in car parks over 30 metres in height. Where a car park is above ground but not defined as an open car park, 30 minutes fire resistance is required for buildings up to 5 metres in height; 60 minutes fire resistance is required for buildings between 5 and 18 metres in height and 90 minutes fire resistance is required for buildings between 18 and 30 metres in height. For basement car parks, the requirement is for 60 minutes fire resistance if the depth is less than 10 metres and 90 minutes where the depth is greater than 10 metres.
