Inner room condition

[nearlythere]

I would also agree it is a or b or c, not a,b or c

I say this because (a) talks about alternative escape route (which could be into another compartment, staircase or door leading to fresh air for example) and (b) talks about escape windows. So if you had suitable alternative escape routes, you wouldn't consider / need the provision of window escape.

Exactly. You must be as mad as me Marty.

What does the panel think of this paragraph with regards to conditions which are applicable?


I say that it reads that A or B or C apply.

Someone has said it is saying that (A and B) or C apply.

What does the panel think?


2.6 A habitable room should open directly onto a hallway (including a corridor or
landing leading to the hallway) which leads to the entrance without passing
through any room (except a porch), other than where the habitable room –
(a) has an alternative escape route;
(b) is on a storey not more than 4.5 m above ground level and the
habitable room has an emergency egress window complying with
paragraph 2.9; or
(c) is part of a roof space conversion which complies with paragraphs2.17 to 2.22.

Reason I have asked is that BC in a particular area says that both (a) and (b) and, if applicable, (c).
