Building Regulations Applications

Both Full Plans and Building Notice applications can be made using a single application form. Regularisation applications still require a separate application form. 

All of these application forms are available for download at the bottom of this page.

Replacement windows also require a separate application. They can be installed either

• with supervision provided by the Building Control Section; or
• by a registered competent person/body such as FENSA, BSI or CERTASS.

For more information please see our replacement windows guidance note (32Kb PDF) 

There are several other approved bodies who can undertake works without the need for Building Regulations applications. These include:

We have produced a short guidance note on Electrical Safety and Approved Document P (MSWord 29Kb) which you may find helpful.

The Planning Portal website has an ‘interactive guidance’ house that is extremely useful in clarifying whether works require Building Regulations approval. Alternatively, we have produced a document outlining applicable and exempt works (MS Word 33Kb).

We have downloadable Exempt Building Pro-Formas for:

• carports 
• conservatories 
• porches 
• small buildings 

If you are unsure which is your best option, more information can be found on our Making an Application Guidance Note (26Kb MSWord). Further information can be also be found in the Building Work leaflet (156Kb PDF).
