Expiry of applications
How long does an application remain
valid?
Both Full Plans Approvals and Building Notices are
valid for three years after which they expire if the work has not
commenced within this period. There is therefore no reason why a
Full Plans Application should not be submitted well in advance of
the date that work commences. A Building Notice must be submitted
at least 48 hours before commencement.
Under certain circumstances, where building work has been
carried out without a Building Control application being made, a
Regularisation Certificate may be applied
for.
