Building Notice

This system of control allows work to be carried out generally without the need for fully detailed plans, all the control being carried out on site.

In the case of a new building or extension, a Building Notice must be accompanied by such plans which are necessary to show the extent of the works together with a scaled site plan and the appropriate fee. Absence of a Building Regulation approval notice may not be acceptable to banks or building societies, and cannot be submitted for work in conjunction with buildings which are defined as a "designated" use under the Fire Precautions Act (i.e. most uses other than residential).

Fees are charged for Building Regulations submissions and site inspections.

NB: You should note that we will issue you with a completion certificate on completion of the works. This document is important as it shows the works are in compliance with the Building Regulations. Failure to obtain this document will likely result in difficulties when the property is being sold or changes in tenancy occur.
