The Heart of the South West Joint Committee is a voluntary arrangement of the 17 local authorities in the Heart of the South West geographical area.<\/p>
A Joint Committee can be created using the provisions of sections 101 to 103 of the Local Government Act 1972, but has no decision making power. Such committees make recommendations to their constituent authorities, who may then choose whether or not to implement them using the usual democratic processes. In the Heart of the South West, the Joint Committee has the delegated function to approve the Heart of the South West Productivity Strategy.<\/p>"}

Building control bodies have a statutory responsibility to check the plans for building work (consulting fire and rescue authorities as appropriate) and to inspect work on site during the construction phase to assess whether it complies with the requirements in the Building Regulations. Where the work does not comply, under provisions in the Building Act, it is for local authorities to decide when a prosecution for non-compliance with the requirements in the Building Regulations would be appropriate.<\/p>

Sprinklers can be an effective fire safety measure but they are one of many such measures that can be adopted. It is for building owners to decide whether to fit sprinklers, on the basis of their assessment of the risk. Government advice is clear; for new blocks of flats over 30 metres in height the statutory guidance states that sprinklers should be fitted. For existing buildings it is a decision for the building owner whether to retro-fit sprinklers as part of a whole fire-safety strategy for the building, based on expert advice and taking into account of other fire safety measures present.<\/p>
