Online building control applications

We can now accept all building control applications electronically.
There are three types of building regulation applications that can be made online:

The electronic file format currently supported for online submissions is:
AutoCAD version 2005 or older (DWG or DXF)

Please note new fees are applicable from 1 October 2008

Full Plans application
This requires the submission of drawings with details showing how you intend to comply with the regulations. We will carry out an initial vet on this information within three weeks; but have a minimum of five weeks to check the plans for compliance, unless extended up to two months.

Building Notice application
Suitable for small works to non-commercial properties, this requires an application to be made stating the nature of the works, this must be accompanied by the relevant information i.e. block plan and drainage plan. Not all works can be carried out on a building notice; there are restrictions for situations such as building over or near a sewer.

Regularisation application
If you have carried out works without building control approval, a regularisation application can be made. The application should include plans to show how the work complies with the building regulations and where necessary how the work will be brought up to the requirement of the Building Regulations.

Only when building control are satisfied that the work complies with the building regulations will a regularisation certificate be issued. There is no VAT on a regularisation application.
