Application form and fees

The Building Notice process allows you to carry out work without the need to prepare full plans and is ideally suited to minor works.  However, you must be confident that the work will meet Building Regulations or you risk having to correct it.

To obtain Building Notice approval you need to submit two copies of the application form and plans of the size and location of the work, together with the correct fee. Receipt of your application will be acknowledged within three working days. You can apply online or alternatively download/view both the application form and information on fees from the menu on the right.

Work can start as soon as an application has been submitted but you must give Building Control at least two days notice of the start date.

Building Regulations Charges

These are set by the Local Authority in accordance with the Building (Local Authority Charges) Regulations 1998, the aim being to recover the cost of carrying out the service. The 'building notice charge' is payable on submission of the application, which covers processing costs and all inspections, regardless of the number required.
 
Inspections

A Building Control officer will inspect the work at various stages to ensure it complies with Building Regulations.  When the work is finished a final inspection will be made before issuing a Completion Certificate.
