Building Regulations approval can usually be obtained in 1 of 2 ways:- 1. By the full plans method where drawings are deposited with the Local Authority or other designated body (eg. Approved Inspector such as NHBC Building Control Services Ltd ) and are subsequently checked for compliance with the Building Regulations. The various stages of the work are also inspected and approved by the Local Authority or an Approved Inspector . It should be noted that unlike planning permission, work may start before approval has been granted - at least 2 days after the deposit of the drawings. It is also quite usual for the final building to differ in some respects to that which received full plans approval, in which case amended plans are required to be submitted to the appropriate body. 2. By the building notice method where notice of commencement of work is given to the Local Authority or other designated body (eg. The NHBC ) at least 2 days prior to the commencement of work. The various stages of the work are then inspected and approved by the L.A or an approved inspector in the same way, but no plans are checked. This method may not be used if the premises contain a workplace. Fees deposited with the application vary between different Local authorities across the country and agencies such as the NHBC and Zurich. Larger applications will often have fees negotiated with the chosen approved inspection authority. SEE ALSO |
