Planning Gateway One Fire Statement – Ensure Fire Safety Compliance

At Fire Safety Services we provide comprehensive Planning Gateway One Fire Statement services to ensure your high-rise residential development meets UK fire safety regulations. Our team of qualified fire safety professionals delivers detailed and fully compliant Fire Statements to support your planning application and streamline the approval process.

As a mandatory requirement under the Building Safety Act 2022, the Planning Gateway One Fire Statement ensures that fire safety is integrated at the planning stage. Whether you’re an architect, developer, planning consultant, or property manager, our expertise in fire safety compliance guarantees that your project meets all statutory requirements.

A Planning Gateway One Fire Statement is a legally required document that must be submitted alongside planning applications for high-rise residential buildings. It provides a comprehensive assessment of how fire safety considerations have been addressed in the building design, ensuring that fire risks are mitigated before construction begins.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) serves as a statutory consultee, reviewing Fire Statements to ensure regulatory compliance before planning permission is granted.

A Fire Statement is required for developments that meet the following criteria:

✅ Residential buildings over 18 metres (or seven storeys) in height
✅ Buildings containing two or more dwellings or educational institutions
✅ Mixed-use developments incorporating residential spaces

Failure to submit a compliant Fire Statement can result in planning permission delays or refusals, impacting project timelines and budgets.

✔ Means of Escape: Safe and efficient evacuation routes, stairwells, and emergency exits.
✔ Fire Spread Prevention: Use of fire-resistant materials and non-combustible cladding.
✔ Access for Emergency Services: Ensuring adequate entry points for fire and rescue teams.
✔ Firefighting Facilities: Hydrants, dry risers, sprinklers, smoke control systems, and fire lifts.
✔ Structural Fire Protection: Measures to prevent structural collapse in the event of a fire.
✔ Evacuation Strategies: Stay Put vs. Simultaneous Evacuation policies and refuge areas.
