Building control
The Building Regulations of
England and Wales
Building Control
โ€ข Building control (as opposed to
development control, i.e. planning
permission) is a technical issue
โ€ข Building control is achieved through the
application of the Building Regulations
โ€ข Regulations were most recently
published in 2000 and are covered by
the Building Act of 1984
โ€ข Building regulations may be
administered by a local authority or by a
private approved inspector
Building control process
โ€ข The building owners submits either Full
Plans or a Building Notice application
โ€“ Full Plans allows prior approval to be given
by the inspector
โ€“ Building Notice means prior approval is not
given. This can be quicker but carry higher
risk if works are found not to comply.
โ€ข Building works are then inspected on
site during construction by either the
local authority or an approved private
inspector
