An external wooden staircase leading to the rear of 1st floor of our 2-storey bloc of 4 flats needs to be demolished as it is beyond repair. We plan to retain however the balustrade/balcony.
There is an internal staircase leading from the front door to all flats as a fire escape
The 1st floor is less than 4.5 m above ground. is there a legal requirement to replace the external staircase as an additional exit ?

Hi Tom
Yes it's 2 -storey, the staircase has been there since the building was converted from a business into flats.
The staircase gave easy access from the car park to upstairs (1st-floor) flats rather than having to walk around the building to get in the front door of the block.
