what is being stored.
lol Trev....If straw, hey or dried foods are being stored, then this adds to the dust level, Have designed for Wildlife Charities, and there are a lot of issues, like no sounders in animal areas due to their hearing range, will be the same with dogsIt's kennels mate, they're storing dogs
May not be classed as domestic, plus it could be a harsh enviroment hence JD6400 is thinking on the same lines with Beam or air sampling. Normal smoke are not going to work here, the will be going off every five minutesIf I were you I would put a smoke detector in,better safe than sorry.I don't think there is any requirement,other than on a new build or refurb of a domestic to have a smoke detector in an open area on each floor.
This will now possibly increase the risk of false alarms by bringing detection lower, there is also now a void area above which will require detectionChange of plans I've now been told. There will be ceilings going on the joists now! I'll only need to fit a smoke detector in the workshop/storage area now I'd imagine.
It would help to know the relative flammability of the dogs that are being held there. Some dogs are notoriously flammable and classed as higher risk. I think there is a BS chart somewhere showing each breed against its particular Df classification. High Df figures will need more rigid fire protection and possibly sprinklers. Daz

Why? It's basically an attic so there shouldn't be any need? Also, I don't know if this makes a difference but this isn't commercial, it's just for the homeowners dogs.
