Building Control - Works without Approval Frequently Asked Questions
Building Control - Works without Approval Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I do work without approval?
The Council has to see that building work complies with
regulations. If the work does not comply, you may be asked
to alter or remove it. If you fail to do this, the Council may
serve a notice under Section 36 of the Building Act 1984
requiring you to do so. The Council also provides information
about Building Control applications to people undertaking Land
Search enquiries. Therefore any work carried out without the
benefit of Building Control approval, usually evidenced by a
Building Regulations Completion Certificate, is very likely to
prevent the sale of the property.
