Making a Building Control Application
There are two types of Building Control application which
can be submitted to gain Building Regulation approval. These are
Full Plans applications and Building Notice applications. They
both have advantages and disadvantages, however, whichever
application process you choose to make, once it is fully
validated, you can begin on site within 48 hours even if a Full
Plans application has not been approved. Applications expire after three years.
Certain projects can only
be submitted as a Full Plans Application. These are:
- Any premises designated
under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
- The erection or
extension of a building that is within 3m of a public sewer
- Erection of extension of
a building which fronts a private street
This Council does not recommend the Building
Notice Application for complicated domestic extensions and loft
conversions.
If building work has been carried out after 11 November 1985
with out an application being made, under certain circumstances a
Regularisation Certificate may be applied
for.
Your building works may also require planning
permission. If in doubt, please contact the
Council's Development Control Service on 01992 785510 or email
planning@broxbourne.gov.uk.
