  • Covered walkway shall be provided for building with clear space less than the building height;
  • Covered walkway with catch platform shall be provided for buildings with clear space less than half the building height. No catch platform is required for building less than 4 m high;
  • The hoarding and/or covered walkway shall be provided along the full length of the site boundary adjacent to public access.
