I was watching a Homes Under the Hammer last night. One of the properties featured was an old upstairs flat with external stairs to reach it. Hopefully the pics do it justice, it was quite a height. I noticed the staircase only had two metal balusters running at the same angle as the staircase, one near the top, one near the bottom, meaning a gap between. I couldn't quite believe, given the height, there wasn't at least another baluster between the existing two, or maybe some vertical ones to block the opening off.
Surely in its current form, a toddler could quite easily reach through the gap and then ...
Is it a case of 'that would never be passed today but because it's existing, it's okay' ?
