Building regulations
There are two methods of applying for building regulations approval.
These are:
- Full plans approval submission
- Building notice application.
Both types of approval involve officers inspecting the work on site at various stages. There are charges for applications. Visit our fees pages for more information.
There are some cases where building work has been done without the above procedures being followed. When this is the case it's necessary for property owners to apply for a regularisation certificate.
Use the online expert system to find out if you need planning permission or building regulation approval.
