Building Control - Works without Approval Frequently Asked Questions
Who enforces the Building Regulations?
The Building Control Surveyor checks the plans for compliance
with the Building Regulations and carries out inspections of
work on site as it progresses. Ultimately, and where
appropriate, formal enforcement is carried out by the Local
Authority through the Courts on the evidence of the Building
Control Surveyor. However, this is extremely rare as the
emphasis of the service is about working together with
applicants to find practical cost effective ways of achieving
the required minimum standards of health and safety whilst
meeting the aspirations of the client / designer.
