In December 2022 the Government launched a consultation (which runs until March 17) on the following:
New residential buildings over 30 metres (around 10 storeys) to be required to have 2 staircases. It said that there would be a very short transition period for this and the consultation encourages all developments to prepare for this change now
Sprinkler systems to be installed in new care homes of all heights (or as an alternative with a minimum of 10 beds as the threshold).
