DO I NEED BUILDING REGULATION CONSENT FOR........?

The main function of the Building Control Section is to ensure that new building work meets the requirements of the Building Regulations. These Regulations cover matters such as structural stability, fire safety, conservation of fuel and power and access and facilities for disabled persons. This is achieved by checking and approving plans of proposed works, and then carrying out inspections of the work on site as it proceeds. Building Control is also able to offer general advice on building matters.

The aim of this section is to set out different situations where Building Regulation Consent may be required.

If you are having construction work done, you may need to notify the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) and may have other duties as well – click here to find out more.
