Hi All,

We are currently designing a a new build extension to a children’s / young adults hospice and hoping for some guidance.

the extension will consist of 3 new bedrooms, kitchen, corridors, community room and a garden.

Firstly, we are unsure if a hospice applies to any of the buildings outlined in 421.1.7 our understanding is that is does not. So we have referred to Section 710 and referred to 710.421.1.7 and using annex A710 we have determined  the bedrooms do not require AFDD's as they are group 1  and all other rooms would fall under group 0 and require a risk assessment.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
