Exemption from requirements

11.—(1) Paragraph (2) applies where a fire and rescue authority is satisfied in respect of any particular station premises that compliance with a requirement of any of the provisions of regulations 5(2), 6(2), 9(8) and 10(2) is inappropriate, unnecessary or not reasonably practicable.

(2) Where this paragraph applies the fire and rescue authority may by notice in writing to the occupier of the premises grant exemption from compliance with the requirement to such extent as is reasonable having regard to all the circumstances of the case and in particular to the risk in case of fire to persons in the premises.

(3) A fire and rescue authority may grant an exemption under paragraph (2) subject to such conditions as may be specified in the notice granting the exemption.

(4) A fire and rescue authority may by notice in writing to the occupier of the premises withdraw an exemption under paragraph (2) if the occupier fails to comply with any condition subject to which the exemption was granted.
