You have consitently put forward that you have seen the plans, recommendations etc yet have never supplied a link to back up your stance.

Insulation (New, Celotex FR5000)
Quote:
The chosen strategy is to wrap the building in a thick layer of
insulation
and then over-clad with a rain screen to protect the
insulation from the weather and from physical damage
No fire breaks anywhere and there is not much between the window frame and the outer insulation.

Ian notes that the planned separation of the window from the concrete meant that interfaces – “window, head and cill extrusions, foams, perimeter filler insulation, water, air and vapour barrier, and lining boards” – became technically critical for fire safety.
The several materials and products within the interface gap became the only construction stopping a fire inside a flat from reaching the cavity and cladding.
