The Greater London Authority (GLA) is consulting on new Fire Safety London Plan Guidance, covering London Plan policies, fire safety, and inclusive design, specifically on evacuation lifts.

The draft guidance sets out how planning applicants should demonstrate that their developments can achieve the highest standards in fire safety.
