Intent
Intent 1: 
To exempt certain buildings from the requirements of Sentence 9.10.14.5.(1), which would otherwise impose certain minimum construction requirements relating to fire-resistance rating and type of construction, if certain conditions are met [i.e. the limiting distance is not less than 3 m]. This is on the basis that the risk of exposure of adjacent buildings to fire is low due to the limitations on the type of occupancy, the type of construction and the limiting distance.
