I'm currently having a loft conversion done. My architect drew up the
plans and they have been submitted and approved by building regs. The
build is now nearly finished, but one of the guys from the loft
company said that the building inspector my insist that I have a wall
built downstairs, for fire regs. Bearing in mind that the building has
been altered according to the submitted and approved plans can the
Building regs people then change their minds? If so it strikes me as a
bit bonkers having commiteed 25K to this build so far and I really
dont want any of it changing.

We had our loft converted last year adding a second (ground, first,
second) floor. We wanted to be able to use the conversion as a living
room or a bedroom. The fire regs require every room on every floor to
be seperated from the stairwell by a door.

This ment that the top of the stair well on the second floor had to be
seperated by a partition wall. Do any of the landings in your house
open out into a roon? Do you have an open plan stairwell?
