A coastal county, from a major conurbation to rural market towns

Dorset is a largely rural, coastal county, home to the Jurassic Coast and a strong tourism economy — but its urban heart is the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole conurbation, a built-up area of around 380,000 people and one of the major commercial centres in southern England. Around that sit historic market towns: the county town of Dorchester, the seaside resort of Weymouth, and many smaller settlements. The fire-risk picture stretches just as wide — dense student HMOs and seafront blocks in the conurbation’s towns, Georgian seafront conversions and guest houses on the coast, commercial and civic premises inland, and rural buildings with no borrowed light once you step outside. Whatever the premises, the test under the Fire Safety Order is the same: suitable and sufficient.
