Consultation description
The original closing date was 11:59pm on 10 August but this has been extended at the request of a number of stakeholders. Firstly by a week (until 17 August), and now by an additional 4 days – until 11:59pm on 21 August 2022.
This consultation follows on from the Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) consultation, which ran from 8 June to 19 July 2021, and which we have today (18 May 2022) published the formal government response to.
The PEEPs consultation raised significant issues covering 3 broad areas – practicality, proportionality and safety, which means we are currently unable to mandate PEEPs in high-rise residential buildings. TheOur new EEIS+ consultation therefore soughtseeks views on our alternative proposals to support the fire safety of residents who would need support to evacuate in an emergency.
It’s important that we receive as diverse and broad a range of views as possible to inform our approach, so welcome your engagement with this consultation. We are currentlyalso analysingrunning a number of workshops during the responsesconsultation receivedperiod to discuss views in more detail. There are currently 4 workshops planned, to be held via Microsoft Teams:
