Thank you. I suspected as much, but was having trouble finding any information to confirm. Much appreciated. 🙂

Hi, I have a 2 storey mixed-use premises, consisting of a commercial unit (takeaway) on the ground floor and single residential unit (1 bed flat) on the first floor. There are no common area and separate entrances to both units. I am aware that I require a commercial FRA for the takeaway downstairs, but I am unsure as to whether I require a residential FRA for the flat as there are no common areas and both have separate entrances. I understand that the Fire Safety Act 2021 states that an FRA is required for building containing two or more dwellings, regardless of whether there are common area or not, but does not mention mixed-use in this way. Basically, do I need an FRA for the flat?
