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

Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

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
