| Comment | Yes, you would definitely need to fix them securely so as not to kill anyone, but to do so you would need to drill into the outside wall, which does not belong to you (or your landlord) and would likely be in violation of the deeds. As you can see from the fact that some people do have window boxes, nobody is going around enforcing this, but it could cause issues for you (or your landlord) when you came to sell the property and it was evident you had tampered with the building fabric without permission.
Window boxes are also expressly not allowed on tenements in conservation areas (again, rarely actually enforced). |
