Consultation description

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. The EEIS+ consultation therefore sought views on our alternative proposals to support the fire safety of residents who would need support to evacuate in an emergency. We are currently analysing the responses received and will publish our response in due course.
