Am I just being a bit dim? I am sure there is a limitation in guidance as to the height (number of storeys) that can be served by a single staircase (lobby protected), in blocks of flats but I can't seem to find it.
-
No Limit. As high as you like. ADB 2.20 and 2.32
-
Bang on, there's no limit on single stair flats.
-
If you had two lobby protected stairs you don't need to exclude one either.
-
But as you dont need to size the stairs it doesn't make a lot of difference :)

Thanks for your input, I'm sure that has helped the forum significantly.
The comments prior to mine covered that.
My sincere apologies for trying to provide additional info.

Cardiff - don't get touchy mate - its an internet forum.

That would be like discounting the largest exit in a room with one exit!

Only a little bit of sarcasm Wee Brian! I'm funnier in person.

Wee B please stop addressing the taxpayers as mate. Show some respect for those who pay your salary.

I'm guessing he's Welsh, I only work for the English :)

I asked the same question at Fire College and was told that there is no limit but in practice would be subject to engineering constraints. Presumably that means structural engineering.

So a fairly definite maybe.

Engineering constraints, is that a technical term for travel distance in a single direction.
-
There is no limit on TD in the room, no self closers in the flat and the kitchen can be next to the flat entrance door.

I presume that means as high as is practical without it falling down or being a hazard to aviation?
