An alternative approach to that described in paragraph 2.21 would be to comply with all of the following. a. Provide sprinkler protection to the open-plan areas. b.

The door should allow occupants of the loft room access to a first storey escape window. c. Separate cooking facilities from the open-plan area with fire resisting construction (minimum REI 30)
