Posted by: Laura Richardson

The Scottish Government has launched a consultation looking at the Scottish Building Regulations and focuses on the proposed review of fire safety topics including Cameron House Hotel recommendations.

Six areas are covered in the consultation including:

  • introducing a requirement for active fire suppression systems installed for future conversions of historic buildings to be used as hotel accommodation
  • the application of mandatory building standard 2.15 - automatic fire suppression systems - to alterations, extensions and conversions of buildings within the scope of the standard.

The consultation opened on 13 December 2024, and Building Engineers have until 7 March 2025 to have their say on the proposed changes.
