3.2.3.10.(2)

Objective

OP3 Protection of Adjacent Buildings from Fire

Attribution

Intent

Intent 1:

To exempt certain exposing building faces from the requirements of Sentences 3.1.5.5.(2), 3.2.3.1.(1) , 3.2.3.7.(1) and (2), which would otherwise limit the area of unprotected openings, and permit unlimited unprotected openings, on the basis that the building face is readily accessible to firefighters [who can effectively carry out fire suppression operations] and the limiting distance is not less than 9 m. These conditions are to limit the probability of the spread of fire from the building to an adjacent building, which could lead to damage to adjacent buildings.
