Противопожарные нормы при строительстве индивидуального жилого дома: Нормы строительства частного дома, заборов, бань, гаражей на своем участке

нормы СНиП для частного жилого строения (ИЖС) в 2019-2020 годах

Отступ от границы участка при строительстве дома – норматив СНиП и необходимый шаг, который должен предприниматься при осуществлении застройки земельного надела, находящегося в собственности владельца на землях СНТ или ИЖС. Удаленность зданий от границ участка – это только приблизительная величина, определяемая некомпетентными источниками. Она должна составлять минимальные 3 метра согласно нормам СНиП.

На даче

Люди, которые уверяют, что достаточно отодвинуться от межи на положенный минимум, чтобы все требования и нормативы были соблюдены, глубоко заблуждаются. Размер отступа может варьироваться из-за разных обстоятельств.

Какими нормативными документами регулируется вопрос

Градостроительный кодекс – документ, обязательный для городских и сельских поселений, предусматривающий необходимость получения разрешительных документов перед началом строительства. С помощью разрешения, полученного в местных органах власти, можно не только определить правильную удаленность.

Если невозможно соблюсти дистанцию при постройке из-за небольших размеров земельных наделов, допускается отступление и не в соответствии с требованиями.

Забор между соседями

Официальное разрешение предусмотрено для того, чтобы не допустить расхожих ошибок при строительстве жилого дома.

Ведь при его возведении учитывается не только расстояние до соседнего забора, но и дистанция до других сооружений и строений. Тем более что в ч. 17 статьи 51 Градостроительного кодекса предусмотрено обязательное, согласно существующему закону, размежевание территорий кадастровыми работниками и обозначение границы между владениями.

После того как построен забор, начинается возведение построек на основе разрешительных документов, утвержденного плана-схемы, на котором должны быть учтены все существующие правила при строительстве частного дома:

1. Разработка проектов ИЖС осуществляется по СНиП 2.08.01-89 и СП 131.13330.2012 (актуализированная редакция СНиП II-3-79).
2. СНиП 30-02-97 регламентирует расположение на плане земельного участка, а впоследствии, при размещении, нормы разрешенного удаления.
3. Правила землепользования и застройки предусматривают, как необходимо размещать жилые, хозяйственные строения и зеленые насаждения друг от друга.
4. СП 42.13330.2011 и СП 53.13330.2011 актуальны при строительстве дачного домика, хозпостроек и др. (в 2019-2020 годах используется новая терминология – садовые дома), на садоводческих участках, в СНТ.
5. ГК РФ от 13.03.2001 г. № 17 (п. 7.4) лимитирует расстояние до границ соседского владения, как высоту хозпостройки или других построек, для предотвращения затененности чужой собственности.
6. В КоАП есть отдельная статья, предусматривающая административную финансовую ответственность за нарушение норм, которые должны быть соблюдены, рассматривая их игнорирование как препятствие собственнику в осуществлении его прав.
7. СанПиН требует выполнения санитарно-гигиенических норм, чтобы избежать опасности заражения или загрязнения на своем собственном и соседском землевладениях.
8. Противопожарные расстояния тоже разработаны МЧС, и пожарные требования определяются характером материала постройки, его огнеустойчивости, способности к быстрому возгоранию.
9. Органы местного самоуправления, правление СНТ в отдельном населенном пункте, районе, для территорий садоводческих товариществ, дачных участков, находящихся составе кооператива, иногда принимают отдельные решения.
10. Для малоэтажек существует еще СП 30-102-99, известный как «Планировка и дальнейшая застройка площади малогабаритного строительства».

Две соседки

Москва ориентируется на Нормы и правила проектирования планировки и застройки города (МСК-МГСН 1.01-99, для Московской области есть ТСН 30-303-2000, а у Санкт-Петербурга – свои, разработанные с учетом специфики). С помощью этих установленных требований и осуществляется застройка территорий в обеих столицах.

Вот почему расположение жилого дома – настолько сложное дело.

Его строят с учетом всех действующих нормативов, ориентируясь на тип сооружения, местность, территориальную принадлежность и удаленность от любых строений, которыми пестрит участок соседа. При этом нужно учитывать и расстояние от улицы.

Монтаж изгороди

Только в одном случае можно безнаказанно делать минимальные отступы – если с тыльной стороны наблюдается отсутствие владений соседа, дороги, коммуникаций или сооружений с дополнительными условиями удаленности постройки.

Строительные нормы и правила

Основной норматив, регулирующий расстояние до соседнего участка, – СНиП 30-02-97. Его актуализированная редакция стала выглядеть как СП. В 2017 году возникла необходимость внесения изменений в нормативы во избежание разногласий при строительстве. До этого размеры отступов зависели от размера участка и типа возводимого строения:

• для одноэтажного домика раньше разрешался минимальный отступ от границ земельного участка в размере 1 м, но данные правила касались участков меньшей ширины, чем положенные 1200 см.
• при том же условии двухэтажное строение можно было построить в 150 см от ограды;
• для зданий большей этажности, чем 2, минимальный отступ составлял 500 см.

Размежевание территории

Нормы строительства дома, если надел шириной не менее 1200 см, сегодня определяют удаленность от межи минимум в 300 см. Это касается возводимых строений на участке ИЖС, где нет какого-либо особого проекта (например, расположения зданий вдоль одной линии или тыльной стороной друг к другу).

Нормы строительства дома на участке ИЖС: отступы 2020

При строительстве разных объектов недвижимости величина дистанции регламентирована законодательными документами. Разработанный строителями проект дома утверждается на уровне местных властей и рассчитывается в непосредственной взаимозависимости с параметрами и этажностью.

Точные замеры

Проще всего определиться с постройками малой этажности, где четко разработаны и утверждены законодательные величины удаленности. Допускается возведение зданий в соответствии с нормативными требованиями, с отступом до трех метров, при условии, что к дому на соседнем участке будет больше 5 метров.

Незастроенность соседнего землевладения позволяет руководствоваться тремя метрами как нормой, и тогда соседу придется соблюдать норму в 6 м от окон сооружения для жилья до стены здания, которое он будет строить.

Схема расстояний от забора до строений согласно нормам СНиП и СанПиН

При этом неважно, что это будет за сооружение: в соответствии с санитарными нормами любая постройка непременно размещается на 6-метровом удалении, чтобы не создавать помех для использования уже расположенного на необходимом удалении от жилого помещения соседа.

Пристроенная к дому баня может сэкономить лишний метр владения, но построить ее подобным образом можно только тогда, если представленный органам регионального или местного самоуправления проект получил положенное одобрение.

Строение	До межи, м	До забора, м
Туалет	1	1
Гараж	1	1

Минимальные отступы от границ земельного участка

Раньше владелец мог отступать от края своего владения 1 м (если строился одноэтажный домик). Иногда некомпетентные строители и сегодня советуют хозяевам делать такое расстояние, чтобы сэкономить землю. Однако именно бытовые разрывы (удаленность оконных проемов жилых помещений от стены любого здания, даже если оно неотапливаемое) и пожарные требования четко предусмотрены в соответствующем законе.

На дачном участке

По нормам на 2020 год нельзя приближаться к забору более чем на 3 м даже в случае, если участок менее 12 м в ширину. Его всегда следует определять по предписанной дальности от чужого жилья.

Соблюдение удаления при строительстве дома на участке, где еще нет других сооружений, регламентируется индивидуальным планом-схемой, утвержденным заранее. В нем учитываются все постройки по другую сторону, за забором.

Если там пустующая земля, можно смело делать минимальный отступ, и тогда уже у нового соседа будут сложности с расположением построек. Если забор находится со стороны улицы, принимается во внимание дистанция от красной линии. В этом случае предельные нормы удаленности зависят от того, что находится за забором – проезд, проезжая часть или оживленная магистраль, но минимально возможная – 5 м.

Расположение построек на участках ИЖС и СНТ

Отступы от соседних строений

Требования по удаленности от соседних строений определяются типом сооружения, размещенного за забором. Минимальная дистанция при этом зависит от оживленной дороги (не менее 6 м между домами, стоящими напротив). Для переулка или проезжей части дистанция от любого пристроя определена как 3 м.

Это единственный случай, когда предусмотрено минимальное расстояние, записанное в точных цифрах. Во всех остальных в документе есть другие величины, от которых и производится отсчет.

Смотрите видео ниже на данную тему.

Расстояния от фундамента до прочих объектов

СНиП с изменениями, внесенными в 2018 году, запрещает рытье траншеи для разграничения участка, даже если это тыльная сторона, где нет ни улицы, ни домов. Но есть расстояния, которые определены для участков, где проходит газопровод.

Здесь все зависит от напора и давления подаваемого газа и варьируется в диапазоне от 2 до 10 м от газовой трубы. Есть предусмотренное ПЗЗ дистанцирование до водопровода и канализации – 5 м, коммуникационного тоннеля – 2 м.

Нормы отступов от границ участка при строительстве частных домов могут диктоваться расположенной неподалеку АЗС, ЛЭП, а также расположением учреждений общественного пользования (лечебных, школьных и дошкольных), расстоянием между домом и хозяйственной частью расположенного рядом промышленного предприятия.

Нормативная дистанция от дома до дороги

Нормативы для ИЖС и дачных участков

Примерные расстояния для строительства иногда варьируются в зависимости от площади землевладения. Однако основные нормы практически идентичны. В 2019-2020 годах на дачном участке можно строить жилые дома, но перед рытьем котлована нужно не только зарегистрировать все имеющиеся постройки, вплоть до капитальных, на фундаменте (это касается и гаражей), но и получить разрешение на строительство дома, где намерены проживать люди.

Основное правило при постройке домов выше, чем одноэтажного, состоит в соблюдении прав собственника соседа.

Его сад или приусадебная земля не должны затемняться домом, иначе в суде он сможет доказать факт нанесенного ущерба и потребовать его возмещения, если участок затемнен большую часть светового дня.

Участок ИЖС

Изменение закона 2018 года регламентирует сооружения и строения на территории некоммерческих садовых объединений граждан и бывших дачных участков. Теперь можно производить индивидуальное жилищное строительство, если обеспечено полное соблюдение требований, предъявляемых законодательством к параметрам такого жилого дома.

Naum 90003 90002 Today’s evolving fireground demands a greater understanding of buildings, occupancy risk profiling (ORP) and building anatomy by all companies operating on the fireground.The identification, assessment, probability, predictability and intrinsic characteristics of building performance under fire conditions must not only be comprehended, but postulated into an adaptive fire-management model and flexible Incident Action Plan (IAP). 90003 90002 Building types and classifications are formulative toward anticipating variables in structural integrity and resiliency to the effects of extreme fire behavior, accelerated fire-load package growth rates and intensity levels during initial and sustained fire suppression.Understanding the construction and uses of a building is integral to effective and efficient firefighting operations and essential for all phases of combat fire engagement and suppression. Examining key insights into the manner in which buildings have been traditionally classified from a construction and code-compliance perspective will lead us to challenge today’s conventional wisdom. 90009 NFPA 220: Standard on Types of Building Construction, 2012 edition, promulgated and published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), defines standard types of building construction based on the combustibility and the fire-resistance rating of a building’s structural elements.Fire walls, non-bearing exterior walls, non-bearing interior partitions, fire barrier walls, shaft enclosures and openings in walls, partitions, floors and roofs are not related to the types 90003.90000 The Residential Landlords Association 90001 90002 90003 This guide is an Overview of Fire Safety for private rented residential accommodation. This focuses on practical tips to keep your tenants safe as well as a brief overview of legislation and guidance. 90004 90003 Our ‘Guide to legislation and guidance on fire safety in privately rented accommodation’ provides a full examination of all relevant legislation and guidance for each type of accommodation.This is especially useful if you let out converted flats, HMOs or bedsit accommodation. 90004 90007 What legislation covers fire safety so that I can check that my properties are compliant with Fire Safety regulations? 90008 90003 This depends on the type of dwelling that you own and who occupies the property. Broadly there are up to 6 pieces of legislation dependent on the type of dwelling and who lives there. However, universally from 01st October 2015 the law in England requires landlords to install smoke alarms on every floor of their property, and test them at the start of every tenancy as well as installing carbon monoxide alarms in rooms with a solid fuel appliance.This is applicable across all property types so please make note of this. 90004 90003 Below are a number of scenarios to look through — 90004 90007 HOUSES 90008 90015 I own a Rented Single Household (family) Occupation — what applies to me? 90016 90003 A.

This can include the freeholder, a Right to Manage Company, a Residents Management Company and also managing agents contracted to act on behalf of any of the above. 90004 90003 You need to be sure whether you are the leaseholder or freeholder.The responsibility for the «common parts» fire safety is either the freeholder or landlord who has responsibility for that part of the premises. You must establish this so you are clear in your mind what is your responsibility. 90004 90003 If you are a leaseholder then please so ensure that you are compliant with any improvements that the freeholder may request to improve fire safety. 90004 90003 Generally the fire service are responsible for 90048 enforcement 90049 of fire safety in communal areas of blocks of flats and 90048 enforcement of fire risk assessments 90049 being carried out correctly.90004 90015 Common Parts 90016 90003 90048 Purpose Built Blocks 90049 90004 90003 A. Fire Safety Order 2005 — 90048 Fire Risk Assessment needed 90049 90004 90003 The responsible person for the «common parts» fire safety is either the freeholder or landlord who has responsibility for that part of the premises. 90004 90003 The LGA Guidance on Purpose Built Blocks of Flats provides guidance for blocks and this should be adhered to. 90004 90003 90048 THE FIRE SAFETY ORDER 2005 REQUIRES A FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT TO BE CARRIED OUT IN BLOCKS OF FLATS OR A BUILDING CONTAINING COMMON PARTS OF TWO OR MORE DWELLINGS.90049 This is primarily directed to the common parts of the block but needs to take into account conditions in the individual flats themselves. The duty is on the «responsible person» who will generally be the person responsible for controlling the common parts. In this situation as you rent out both individual flats and own the block you will be treated as the «responsible person». 90004 90003 You also need to be aware of the need for fire alarms on each floor — see the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms (England) Regulations 2015 — see Important Note at the beginning of this Guide.90004 90003 Note: This also applies to individual converted flats compliant with 1991 or later Building Regulations. 90004 90015 Converted Flats 90016 90003 Please refer to the ‘Converted Flats’ section in our ‘Guide to legislation and guidance on fire safety in privately rented accommodation’ for a full explanation of what is relevant to you. 90004 90015 Individual self-contained flats (Dwelling behind flat’s front door) 90016 90003 90048 Rented — Single Household (Family) Occupation 90049 90004 90003 A.The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015 90004 90003 AND if in Selective Licensing Area 90004 90003 B.

Find out more about HHSRS and Fires Safety here. 90004 90003 Please bear in mind that the way in which Fire Safety regulations are actually applied varies from Local Authority area to Local Authority area, which is why it is such a complex topic to advise on.If you are in any doubt please contact the Local Authority where your properties are located for further help. 90004 90003 We are advising all of our members that have properties in designated Selective or Additional Licensing areas to please check with the Council that they have met all of their licencing conditions regarding fire safety measures. This is because again licensing conditions can vary across local authority areas. 90004 90003 You can refer to the RLAs fire safety guide for more information here.90004 90003 * IMPORTANT * If you own any new build properties in Wales please also take note that the law changed in January 2016 and there is now a legal requirement for the installation of sprinklers in all new and converted houses and flats. * You can find out more here 90004 90007 High Rise Tower Blocks 90008 90003 There has been a lot of talk in the press about Compartmentation in high rise tower blocks like Grenfell. If you own a flat in a high rise tower block that is owned by either the Council, Arms Length Management Organisation (ALMO), Housing Association or other management company they will need to check that: 90004 90147 90148 The high degree of fire separation between flats and the common parts is achieved by making each flat a fire-resisting enclosure.The fire resistance of this construction is such that, normally, a fire will burn itself out before spreading to other parts of the building. 90149 90150 90003 The building’s elements of structure are required to possess sufficient fire resistance when exposed to a fire of predicted severity to not only prevent fire-spread, but also to prevent structural collapse. It needs to be ensured that the fire-resisting enclosure of flats is maintained to all openings, including: 90004 90147 90148 flat entrance and other doors 90149 90148 any internal windows into the access corridor, or any glazing above or around the flat entrance door 90149 90148 openings in walls and floors for services, such as water, gas and electricity 90149 90148 vents into shared air supply ducts, but, more commonly, shared extract ducts from bathrooms and sometimes kitchens 90149 90150 90003 Please ensure that you work with the management of the building to ensure that these safety precautions are in place even if it is not your legal responsibility.We recommend full cooperation. 90004 90015 Evacuation strategy 90016 90003 Again the evacuation strategy of the fire at Grenfell Tower was the ‘Stay Put’ principle based on the Compartmentation of the high rise tower. Although not yet clear with the fire spreading so quickly at Grenfell if this was the correct approach, this principle may be called into question in the light of recent events. 90004 90003 We would advise Landlords who have tenants in high rise blocks that they do not own or manage themselves to contact the local Fire Service and Local Authority who may be reviewing their evacuation policies at this time of high rise blocks of flats to seek advice to pass on to their tenants.90004 90015 Is there any guidance available that ensures that I am compliant but is easier to understand? 90016 90003 LACORS was the body which co-ordinated local authority regulators. With the approval of the Department of Communities and Local Government, as well as the Association of Chief Fire Officers, LACORS published Guidance on fire safety in residential accommodation, including single dwellings, shared houses, bedsits, flats and flats which are in multiple occupation. The body itself no longer exists, however the RLA still refer our members to the guidance.90004 90003 Depending on the type of property it may be subject to the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), the Fire Safety Order, or HMO licensing.
