A step proposed as a remedial solution should only be considered if it can be reasonably considered to be part of the permanent structure of the floor. This would be a matter of judgement in each case but an isolated step on a plain wall adjacent a window is unlikely to be acceptable.
Where escape windows are installed with the bottom of the opening greater than 1100mm above floor level, the provision of a protected escape route would be acceptable.
