Jees....bloo.... christ..... That "roof terrace" is just asking for trouble - No hand rails or barriers to prevent anyone from falling off. Quite likely a hard concrete surface below, so all too easy to break a bone or three.oldbikebloke said: see this example of what happens if you really know what you are doing building wise

It is possible that it doesn't have planning permission as a terrace. Round here, the planners are anti roof terraces because of overlooking issues. So, its use as a roof terrace may not be kosher, and that's why they haven't applied for railings. That one is within the conservation zone, I take it?
If that's the case, and really the EA's ought to know what the rules are for their area, I'm surprised that they are describing it as a roof terrace, really.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
