    The local council should be interested. Any internal alterations that involve moving doors have the potential to change the way fire spreads in the building and the options people have to get out of a building in the event of a fire. This must be assessed by the council and councils take this seriously.

    If  there is a fire in your building then there will be some ambiguity as to whether that building was compliant with fire regulations at the time of the fire. This may delay any insurance claims or worse.

    I would at the very least seek an interim order from the Tribunal as outlined above. I would also make sure the rest of the committee knows that all internal alterations should go to the council for fire safety reasons.
