So long, Building Regs

摘要

It is about time (The end of Building Regs as we know them, AJ online). I have had to provide a steel frame just to support a dormer window on a roof extension because the house was five- storeys high (the rest of the house was existing and allowed to collapse). A couple of months ago, the gaps in a ramp handrail were rejected because it was 10mm over the 380mm difference allowed, yet I can walk along a clifftop on a public path with a fall of 30m without a fence.
