Making an Application

Any building works, structural alterations or a change of use require a Building Control Application with Full Plans or a Building Notice.

To make an application, download the relevant application at the bottom of this page.

If work has already been completed without the submission of a Full Plans or a Building Notice application, this work is called unauthorised work and a Regularisation application is legally required.

When making an application please ensure it is sent to the office that will be inspecting the work.

Please note: work to a Non-Domestic property cannot be made using the Building Notice Application route.
