Performance Solutions for Swimming Pools?
Most in the industry are now familiar FP1.4 Performance Solutions required to address weatherproofing for external walls / roofs of habitable buildings, but how many are familiar with GP1.1 Performance Solutions for Swimming Pool drainage?
Much like BCA Performance Requirement FP1.4, there is no Deemed to Satisfy (DtS) Solution for GP1.1, meaning a Performance Solution is required to comply with the BCA.
Whilst it is frustrating that BCA compliance cannot be achieved without the need for Performance Solutions, this unfortunately does not change statutory compliance requirements. So if your development includes a swimming pool or spa, CCG recommend discussing with your consultant team how GP1.1 (or P2.2.4 for pools associated with houses) has been addressed.
