Dear all,
I would appreciate an opinion on the following situation.
I moved into the flat in 2007 and set out to remodel it. I submitted proposed alterations to landlord (council) , which wee rejected.
The alteration in question consists of removing part of the wall between kitchen and living room to either make it an open-plan or install French door later on. There was an exisitng opening (narrower though) and no fire door when I moved in.
Council's argument for refusal is that Fire door was present in original design (judged by other flats in the block) , hence I need to (re)install fire door.
Can I do away with fire door and if so, what is the argument (i.e. Fire regulation)?
Is there a fire door in the shape of french door ?
Thanks! View media item 21074
