The local council has asked a client, who own a residential park home site, to send them a copy of their fire risk assessment. Given that the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order is enforced by the Fire Authority and not the Council, why would the Council want it - and is there a legal requirement to provide it? I am sure there is an obvious answer to this but it is Friday after all.............. Ta

Do you have a problem with the fra being sent? Why not ask the local council why they want to see the assessment?

Generally find that when one enforcing authoirty comes across something that they consider non compliant they will assess the risk and then decide to inform the appropriate authority. Some authorities may have standing items they expect a particular business to have - and some of those may not be areas where they have jurisdiction. Hope this is of some use.

Decimomal Could it be the councils licensing team that are asking for this? I believe that “Park Home site’s” residential or holiday require a licence, so they can probably request this. Don’t know if they can take any action on it other than passing any concerns onto the fire service. Brian
