Hi All
We have just had a single storey extension built on a 4 bed property. In addition we've removed a partition wall between the front and second receptions (so its open from front all the way to the kitchen).
Building control have carried out their last visit but have stated that we require sprinkler system to be fitted? This is a surprise since other properties on the street do not have this and its a residential property that is not being rented out so I'm a bit puzzled. I appreciate the safety concerns but surely this is overkill for a terraced property?
In addition they have spotted that we have a basement (which was always there) and require the staircase for this to be completed re-done even though this is not in scope of the work being done?
Appreciate any advice on how to deal with this
