Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department's technical review of the Building Regulations statutory guidance on fire safety (Approved Document B) will include a review of the regulations covering the self storage industry.

The statutory guidance on fire safety (Approved Document B) does already provide some provisions for self storage units.

The technical review of Approved Document B will be wide ranging and will cover all of the guidance in the document. We published a call for evidence which ended on 15 March 2019, we are currently analysing the results and will publish a response in due course.
