Wales comes closer to compulsory residential sprinklers -

Last month the Welsh Assembly voted unanimously to introduce residential sprinklers into New housing in Wales, it awaits Royal Approval, from the privy council on 7th April for it's ultimate implementation. Upon this all new or conversions into houses, flats, care homes, houses in multiple occupation, etc, will expect this provision. The actual implementation method has yet to be clarified, since Building Regulations are currently applicable to both England and Wales. Perhaps the implementation may be through some form of Local Enactment..watch this space!
