Building control
Our building control team ensure that buildings are designed and constructed in accordance with the Building Regulations and associated legislation. Building Regulations impose minimum standards designed to safeguard the health and safety of people in and around buildings. More about Building Regulations.
Building control should not be confused with planning. Building control legislation covers the structure, construction and the health and safety aspects of buildings. Planning legislation covers the size and appearance of buildings and how they affect the street scene. Find about planning applications.
