Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Lytham St Annes?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Lytham St Annes is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

How often should they be tested?

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.
