The default criteria for these space types requires relevant positions to be within 5m of an opening.
Where larger spaces are ≥ 50m2 NIA, the standard view out criteria for the relevant scheme is applied instead.
The 5m rule is intended for small scale domestic spaces where proximity to a view out is beneficial. This KBCN recognises that for larger relevant spaces in Residential, Multi-Residential and Residential Institution asset types, a scalable approach in line with commercial buildings is more appropriate.
