Building Control

Introduction

The Building Regulations are national regulations in force across England and Wales, under the Building Act, 1984. Their purpose is to ensure the following:-

1. Health, safety, welfare and convenience of persons in or about buildings and of others who may be affected by buildings or matters connected with buildings.
2. Conservation of fuel and power.
3. Prevention of waste, undue consumption, misuse or contamination of water.

The need for Building Regulations approval is totally separate from Planning Permission. In many cases, both are needed and have separate application procedures, forms and fees.
