scp Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Does anyone know if a wooden balcony on the ground floor of a 12-meter block of flats is legal? All the other balconies are tiled / concrete, but this one appears to have been added recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This a fire safety forum and as such does not offer legal advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scp Posted May 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Ok. Let me rephrase it. Are you allowed a wooden balcony on the ground floor apartment of a 12 metre storey block of flats. The balcony is not original and has been added at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 As all the other balconies and external wall are from your description not combustible there is no risk of spread of fire along the exterior of the building, however if by 12m you mean the height if the floor to the top storey is over 11m (not to highest point of roof) then it wouldn't meet current Building Regulations and shouldn't have been approved.
