Zab Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 (edited) Our three storey dwelling house (3 flats)has old metal exterior staircase that needs to come down. It’s less than 50m3 and not needed as we are fire compliant without it. Can’t find out if we need building control/planning permission . Don’t want to start down that route if unnecessary . Any help thank you Edited October 21 by Zab Add photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zab Posted October 22 Author Share Posted October 22 Thank you - can you tell me how I might be sure about that to put my mind at rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ambrose Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 >>> how I might be sure Only by confirming with BC. It will originally be there for fire regs I expect - so you'll need to be sure it isn't needed. BC are usually lots more accessible than planning, so you may get an email answer quite quickly or a quick visit to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 You will need something to prevent a fall from the doors. Often BC are not keen on alterations that are less fire safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to check if your LABC offer something similar for Building Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
