Building control applications

You can apply online for full plans, building notice or regularisation.

Site inspections

You must tell us when you are starting work. Please do this on your application form or email the date to us at least 2 days before starting.

You must let us know about the early stages of the work for example foundations, damp proof courses and underground drainage, particularly where the work will be concealed following inspection. We also encourage you to let us know when other works such as fire stopping, structural members and insulating materials may be inspected before being covered over. In some cases, we will want to witness or test that systems work. It is always advisable to have preliminary tests undertaken before we arrive, as delays will occur if a test fails. You must also email to notify us when works are completed. We will make a final inspection before we certify the works fully comply with the building regulations and it is best to do this whilst the builder is on site.
