Just to be clear...there is a possible trap to avoid...

Say you build a wall 5'6" tall so it doesn't need planning permission.
Then building control tell you you need railings on top.
The railings make it over 6' tall.
So you now need planning permission, which is refused and you have to take
the whole lot down.

Now I don't think Building Control approval is required but best check and
be aware of the potential for traps like this.

This is not Spot The Civil Engineer, is it? :-)
