Fire retardant paint vetos 1.0m boundary rule for a shed?

[Chri5]

Pretty much as the title.

The rules for a shed over 15m sq requires a 1.0m boundary, this can be broken or ignored which the structure is suitably fire proof.

I had assumed this meant a brick, concrete slab, cement based sheet type structure ONLY.

Reason I ask is my intended 5.0m x 5.0m 44mm cabin wouldn't be acceptable in my width of garden which is 6.8m unless the side on the short boundary is fire retardant.

Does painting it with HR or a suitable certified coating resolve the issue?

No the paint degrades and performance is affected.

Strictly, you should also need a performance test of the building, and certificate confirming that the paint will function and has been applied in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

The fire resistance must be structural and not removable and protection must not diminish over time.
