  1. DPC should discharge below the lintel.
  2. Why is the DPC discharging to the outside ABOVE the lintel?
  3. That’s because the whb can impede on the space as long as its wall hung without floor support or a pedestal - hence not impeding access.
  4. Are you looking for 30minutes FR for a wall supporting a floor above?
  5. I agree. The plans that you have are fine. Make a Building Notice Application showing the new steelwork. Just add a note to say that the steelwork will be fire protected to achieve 1/2hrfr. And bye the way - show a door into the kitchen from the hall.
  6. While a fire engineered solution may be acceptable to BC having the kitchen open to the floors above is - in my opinion - dangerous. Consider a scenario where smoke from a fire on the ground floor rises - the parents are in their bedroom and the children are in theirs. All rooms have fire escape windows but a parent will always want to get to their children in an emergency and this could mean entering a smoke filled hallway.
  7. Christ almighty……a bit anal…..
