Building Control - Works without Approval Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't I just do the work without telling you, and then
apply for Regularisation if I get found out?
This is because -
- It is illegal to do so and the Council might decide
to take enforcement action.
- It is more difficult, inconvenient and expensive to
correct any faults when the work is completed and in
use.
- A delay on selling your house will likely
ensue.
- Even if the work complies, you will nearly always
need to damage some of it to open up elements for
inspection.
- Can I get
previously unauthorised building work regularised?
- What happens
if I do work without approval?
- What is a
Regularisation Application?
- What do I
need, in order to sell my house?
- When can it
be made?
- How much
does an application cost?
- What about
enforcement?
- Who enforces
the Building Regulations?
- Why
don't I just do the work without telling you, and then apply for
Regularisation if I get found out?
- What do I do
now?
