This Report describes different methods for calculating adequate space separation between buildings. It has been prepared in support of Approved Document B4 to the Building Regulations for England and Wales.
Part 1 describes the Enclosing Rectangle and Aggregate Notional Area methods from Approved Document B2/3/4 (HMSO, 1985). Both methods have been expanded to include additional information from the original Geometric and Protractor methods in Appendix II of Fire Note No 8 ‘Fire and the external wall’ by G J Langdon-Thomas and Margaret Law (HMSO, 1966).
The basis of the methods described in Part 1 is set out in Fire Research Technical Paper No 5 ‘Heat radiation from fires and building separation’ by Margaret Law (HMSO, 1963), which is reproduced as Part 2.
Superseded by the second edition, published in 2014.
