We're sorry, due to resourcing issues, a significant backlog of work and a recent change in legislation, there is a delay to our Building Control work and related communications.
Whilst we work to resolve the situation, please see the Planning Portal's building control home page for advice on Building Control.
If you are building something new, or making changes to an existing building, you may need building regulation approval.
This makes sure the work meets health and safety, energy and accessibility standards, and gives you the certificates you need when you want to sell your home or building.
