The historic areas around Old Portsmouth, Gunwharf Quays and the city centre contain a mixture of commercial premises, hospitality venues, offices, residential buildings and public spaces, while Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and the surrounding waterfront attract substantial numbers of workers and visitors. Areas such as Southsea, with its shops, restaurants, hotels and seafront attractions, add further variety to the buildings and activities requiring effective fire safety management.
Further across the city, commercial and industrial premises can be found around areas including Hilsea, Fratton, North End and Port Solent, alongside schools, healthcare facilities, apartment developments and community buildings.
