Apply for building regulations

Before you start work

You might have to correct the work or pay a fine if you do not tell us about it.

You will also need a completion certificate if you want to sell your home. If you don’t obtain a completion certificate it may void the insurance policy on the property. It is strongly advised you check this with your insurer.

Find out about Building Regulations by viewing:

• Local Authority Building Control (LABC) website, which has information on what are building regulations (video) and when you require a building regulations application.
• A useful video from LABC about how the Building Regulations help you.
• The interactive house on the Planning Portal website.

We are no longer able to accept applications through the Planning Portal please apply using the online forms or contact us on 01628 796 915 if you require any assistance.

Information for builders

The Health and Safety Executive has produced leaflets for builders, providing guidance on a variety of topics. For details, please visit their website.
