Battersea has many buildings where fire safety measures may not meet current standards, modern developments with cladding systems requiring assessment, and mixed-use buildings where commercial and residential fire risks interact.
PAS 9980 provides a risk-based framework for assessing fire risk in external wall systems. It enables proportionate assessment rather than requiring wholesale cladding removal where risk is actually low.
Residential buildings over 18 metres or seven storeys fall within scope. Buildings in Battersea meeting this threshold must register with the Building Safety Regulator and may need to prepare safety cases.
