  if she goes for decking then you need to consider planning aspect if the deck is above 300mm above ground level

  Yes, Eugene. An obvious faux pas on my part. Will have to try and get back there and take some. I did a scribbley sketch but I really don't think that would help :-)

  When you say planning aspect thermo, do you mean as in planning permission?

  yes if the deck is over 300mm above existing ground level then there may be a need for a planning application. it does of course come down to where the local authority decide they count there existing ground level to be on a sloping site. we get so many different answers its un real. one authority we regularly put planning in for and another right next door discount the exact same type of job

  Thanks for that. It's certainly worth noting.
