Fire risk assessment in Preston
Preston is a student city, and that shapes almost every assessment. The University of Central Lancashire sits directly in the city centre, and the streets around it carry one of the densest concentrations of shared student housing in the North West.
What we typically find in Preston
Student HMOs around Plungington, Deepdale and Avenham are typically Victorian terraces converted to five or six lettable rooms. Interlinked detection, fire doors on every room and a clear protected route are the baseline, and the gap between what is fitted and what is required is usually detection coverage on the top floor. The Georgian offices around Winckley Square are a different job entirely, with listed building constraints limiting what can be altered.
LicensingPreston City Council
Preston has an Article 4 direction covering parts of the city, which removes permitted development rights for HMO conversion, alongside mandatory HMO licensing. Enforcement around the university is active.
