March 10, 20206 yr comment_16641 Hi all, Looking for some simple advice as my local council isn't being very useful. The link they gave is just for domestic requests: https://www.bury.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=11065 I am looking to rent out a commercial unit as a cafe in Bury town centre but there is no current secondary means of fire escape. Please can you look at the rough plan to see if I would need to install a secondary fire escape or if one door would suffice? Report

March 11, 20206 yr Author comment_16653 Hi Anthony, Excellent, thanks very much for your input. Obviously, I want things to be fire safe, so I will still seek out the assistance of Greater Manchester Fire Department to see if they can give further guidance. 14 hours ago, AnthonyB said: Based on your measurements and assuming an occupancy of under 60 then the one door is acceptable.

March 11, 20206 yr comment_16659 Sorry I am afraid they will most likely chase you as they usually do not give advice and most probably suggest you employ the services of a fire safety consultant. Report
