Determinations & Appeals

Determinations and appeals are two procedures which provide for the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales (NAW), as appropriate, to adjudicate in disputes between people carrying out building work subject to the Building Regulations and a building control body (i.e. either a local authority or a private sector approved inspector).

The purpose of and procedures for determinations, and for appeals against a local authority's refusal to relax or dispense with a requirement, are distinctly different and it is important if you are contemplating using them to have a clear understanding of each.
