Building notice
A Building
Notice application can be used for buildings that are not
designated under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005,
generally domestic premises. If you are building over or within 3m
of a public sewer then a full plans application is required. Unlike
full plans applications, detailed drawings are not normally
required however, additional information may be requested
to show how you intend to comply with the Building Regulations.
Typical technical details and
specifications are available for free download from this
website and give basic guidance as to the detail that is required.
The sketchs may submitted as part of
your application.
You must submit the following with your application:
- Completed Building Notice
form
- Building Notice fee; please see fee charges
- Site location plan. Minimum scale 1:1250
showing the position of your property in relation to other
buildings, the street and boundaries. A plan may be purchased from
an Ordnance Survey agent or a scaled sketch will be
acceptable.
Once your application has been received, if acceptable, it is
registered and an
acknowledgement letter sent. You may commence work 48 hours after
the Building Notice has been accepted.
