Important note on new charges

From 1st October 2010 a new charging scheme is being introduced following changes to the Charging Regulations. The changes mean that the new scheme is fundamentally different from our previous charging schemes.  Please contact us on 020 7641 7230 if you wish to examine the scheme at our offices. It is known as 'The City of Westminster Building Regulations Charges Scheme No.6, 2010'. A guidance note and standard charge tables is available to download below.

Our fees and charges are as follows:

Building Regulations

Charges are made to recover the full cost of undertaking plan examination and site inspection. Standard charges have been set for building work affecting up to 2000 sq.m. of internal floor area and are detailed in the guidance note below. Individually assessed charges for work to a greater floor area than this, and for giving pre-application advice are available by phoning us on 020 7641 7230.

 
London Building Acts

Charges are made for consents/approvals issued under the London Building Acts (Amendment) Act. 1939. The fee depends on the type of application you are making, and is shown in the table below. You must pay the fee when you send us your application. There is a 50% surcharge for Section 20 applications where we are not carrying out inspection of the related Building Regulations application (i.e. an approved inspector is).

Please make your cheques payable to "City of Westminster".

You may also pay by debit/credit card by phoning us on 020 7641 7230.
