Building Control - Full Plans Route Frequently Asked Questions

There are three options available for the Surveyor dealing with your Full Plans Application :-

  • The building plans may be passed, Unconditionally.
  • The building plans may be passed, subject to Conditions. These conditions must be mutually acceptable, and will require drawings to be amended or further information to be provided within a specific period of time.
  • As a last resort, plans may have to be Rejected. We will make every effort to avoid this option, but we do rely heavily on your co-operation. Following Rejection, the application will need to be resubmitted if you intend to proceed with the project. No further payment will be required if the scope of the work remains the same.

Once issued, Building Regulation Approval remains valid for three years from the date of submission of the application, during which time work must commence. Failure to commence the works during this time will require you to re-apply.
