raised decking

What Idoodle is referring to sounds more like a step; but he’s hijacked someone else’s post which is probably why he’s had no specific replies.

I will link to this in the relevant forum.

firstly can i say i have removed a lot of soil from the garden to level it. If i had added soil since the garden was on a slope(left to right of the house) then 30 cm would prob not have been an issue at all as it WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER 30 cm at the soils highest point ! but to save money on buying soil and since i needed a skip anyway i just removed copious amounts of soil to make it level ! Also my neighbour is a good friend and actually helped me a fair bit while building this deck. I have also been told that these 30cm building regs came into force (in scotland at least) in i think 2008 and this deck while not finnished by then was started before that. so its permissable ! hope this clears up any issues since i would not advocate doing anything at this cost or effort which may cause any issues
