Zusammenfassung:	A cantilever platform, such as a balcony provides a firebreak preventing fire transmission from one side of the platform to the other and so preventing fire spread between storeys on the outside of a multi-storey building. The platform, is arranged in use to connect to a support structure and to extend laterally outward therefrom, the platform comprising a barrier spanning an area parallel to the lateral extension of the platform, at least a portion of the barrier being non-combustible, the barrier being arranged in use to prevent fire transmission between opposing sides of the barrier. The barriere may be a layer of foamed concrete or a cementitious panel. An intumescent sealing strip may be provided between the platform and the building structure.
