Works carried out without an application?

REGULARISATION CERTIFICATES - I forgot to get Building Regulation permission

If a situation becomes apparent that work has been previously carried out without an application, the owner of the property may be able to apply for a Regularisation Certificate. This process is referred to as a Regularisation Application. The work may have been done by you or by a previous owner of the property. From the 1st October 1994, the Building Regulations were revised to allow for the regularisation of building work. The completed works will however need to have been undertaken since 11th November 1985. We have produced a Customer Guide to explain the process. This is available to download at the bottom of the page.
