Outbuilding Smoke detector required?

[SSE]

Do you have to fit a smoke detector in outbuildings? It's a new build, about 20metres from the house and is half kennels half storage area? Someone told me there's no need but I wasn't sure if that was correct

Think what I'll do is take the drawings into the council offices and ask them what they will require, that way they can let us know what is the minimum required, this way if they say each room then he'll listen them, if it was up to me I'd cover myself and put it in each room but the guy won't want it. Can't walkaway from the job I'm afraid. Also when the ceiling is on, there will still be a gap of about 4 inches between top of each wall seperating the room and the ceiling.

Maybe the best idea, make sure all councils assessments are written, a keep copies yourself, cant stress enough the importance of this. There are a few landlords and electricians doing time for getting things wrong.

Will do, thanks for your help.

If you are genuinely worried about it ask the local fire officer for advice, if you can.
It's the best kind of rear covering I can think of.
