How do I submit a Building Regulation Application?
You have two methods of obtaining building regulation approval:
Full Plans domestic (inc charge sheet) - The plans deposited are checked to ensure compliance with the building regulations and the work carried out on site is in accordance with those plans subject to any agreed and approved amendments. This system can be beneficial to finance lenders as both approval certificate for the plans and completion certificate for the site work are available proving the local authority's acceptance of the proposals.
Full Plans non domestic (inc charge sheet) - The plans deposited for buildings which are subject to the Regulatory Reform Order (Fire Safety) are checked to ensure compliance with the building regulations and the work carried out on site is in accordance with those plans subject to any agreed and approved amendments. This system can be beneficial to finance lenders as both approval certificate for the plans and completion certificate for the site work are available proving the local authority's acceptance of the proposals.
Building Notice (inc charge sheet) - This application method is intended for small extensions and internal alterations to dwellings only. Detailed plans will not be required to be submitted for approval, however specific plans or calculations may be required to clarify certain parts of the construction. The work on site will be required to comply with the building regulations and a completion certificate will be available proving satisfactory compliance with the regulations.
