We had a series of works done to our ground floor garden flat over a couple of years, and rather than go through multiple rounds and fees of Building Control we are now going through a single Regularisation Cert process.
Council have now done their inspection and main issue they've pointed out is that our new open plan kitchen needs an additional fire door between the common area hallway of our building (see red circle in below floor plan). However, this presents some serious design challenges as it will clash with the main entry door arc, and will also block part of the open plan design when open.
Just wondering if people have any practical suggestions to resolve to Council satisfaction? The council suggested alternatively I could install a fire curtain or sprinkler system, but obviously that would be a fairly expensive workaround.
