Would strutting these joists make them comply do you think?

You need to strut them anyway, at each end and each third distance
intermediate.

Replacing the floorboards with plywood and gluing and screwing it down
will
comply in spades, but is impractical for future maintenance. Seek advice
from your BCO.

Where is the strutting requirement? I've looked in document A and
couldn't see anything in there about it. Is it all up to BCO's
discretion or are there actual guidance documents out there somewhere?
