Posted By The toecap I do believe you can appeal

Posted By Robert K Lewis NJC First of all please make sure that your statement about design of the corridors for scooters was included in the design brief and if so you need to go back to the originating lead designer and get the relevant building control persons involved. Just because a corridor is wide it does not mean that it was designed for such storage. You need to check this out. It should then be possible for that designer to demonstrate the fire strategy on which basis the plans were approved. Given the initial approvals you start the next hurdle. The fire officer may be concerned about either his officers colliding with the parked scooters in a fire situation or residents using them for escape purposes. Battery charging and potential for hydrogen build up may be in his mind so your risk assessment must demonstrate that Hydrogen is not a risk or ventilation is sufficient to prevent a build up. Finally - Once you have your ducks in a row Appeal - but remember the time restrictions that apply for a notice of appeal to be lodged. Fire officers decisions are very personal and the new one next month may think the opposite. Bob

Posted By njc Hi his main reason is that we are endangering non scooter users and the fact that the scooters are a fire hazard. We have around 25 scooters in the building at the moment, with two floors each with 100+ flats on each floor. The flats have been sold/rented on the fact you can bring scooters into the complex (we are a new retirement complex with shops etc on ground floor) I can't say to much on forum regarding circumstances, but we have put all control measures in place. We own the building and have a care company managing it 24/7 these people carry out the checks and we monitor they are doing the checks.
