Building control service
If you are intending to carry out building works you
must submit an application to the Council's Building Control
section. You will need to make the application under the provisions
of the Building Regulations if you intend to carry
out building work such as putting up a new building,
extending or altering an existing building, replacing windows or putting an existing
building to a different use.
There are, however, certain exemptions in respect of minor works, about
which the Council will be pleased to advise you.
Work on site must not start until at least
two days after your application has been accepted. Applications
expire after three years if work has not
started.
The Building Control team also deal with
dangerous structures, demolition of buildings and contraventions of the Building Regulations.

permission. If in doubt,
