What decision options are available to the Building Control
Surveyor?
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.
