Decking

Building Regulations should be assumed to apply to every deck structure requiring planning permission.

Read advice from the Health and Safety Executive about Getting your job done safely.¹

If you are unsure about whether you are required to comply, you may wish to contact your local building control body.

General guidance on the performance expected of materials and building work in order to comply with the building regulations and practical examples and solutions on how to achieve compliance for some of the more common building situations can be found in the approved documents section.
