Regularisation (irregular work)
Building control system changes
We are upgrading our system, and some services will be unavailable whilst we complete the work.
Applications submitted from Friday 11 September will not be processed until Friday 25 September. Deadlines will be extended accordingly.
Site visits can be requested and will be processed as normal.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Where work does not comply with building regulations
Inevitably some work is carried out contrary to the Building Regulations where enforcement action needs to be taken. Wherever possible we will discuss these problems with you so that the work can be corrected quickly, with the least inconvenience to all concerned.
Approval after work is completed
Sometimes work is completed without our knowledge and requires retrospective approval. We will do all we can to help you, but you will need to submit a Regularisation Notice and pay the appropriate fee.
We will then inspect the property within 48 hours and let you know if anything needs to be done for a Regularisation Certificate to be issued.
Some parts may need to be opened up for inspection and we will advise you. We will try to keep this to a minimum.
