I've had a search for the answer to this but haven't found it yet: do the
regulations for internal staircases also apply to garden steps? I'm
thinking in particular of the 100mm maximum spacing between banister rails.
I'm making two sets of steps down from patio doors and haven't had the final
building control sign-off yet. Many thanks.

Well there's a cheery thought. Thanks! And I think I'll pass over your
other comment in dignified silence.

Really? So I misunderstood the regulation quoted on that page I linked to?

Thanks for the reply.

I read Brian's comment as observation on officialdom and feature creep,
rather than a prediction of your future mobility!

Ah, thanks. And apologies to Brian, if I did indeed misinterpret what he
