Regularisation Application Guidance Notes.

The applicant is the person on whose behalf the work is being carried out, e.g. the building's owner.
 

One copy of this notice should be completed and submitted with plans and particulars indicating the works carried out.

Where Part B (Fire Safety) imposes a requirement in relation to proposed building work, two further copies of plans should be submitted.

A regularisation application must be accompanied by the appropriate fee, which is charged at a rate of the normal fee payable had the works not otherwise already been carried out plus 20% (VAT is not payable)

The appropriate charge is dependent upon the type of work carried out. Charge scales and methods of calculation are set out in the Guidance Notes on Charges.

In accordance with Building Regulation 21 the Council may require an applicant to take such reasonable steps, including laying open the unauthorised work for inspection, making tests and taking samples as the authority think appropriate to ascertain what work, if any, is required to secure compliance with the relevant regulations.
 

These notes are for general guidance only; full particulars of a "Regularisation" request are contained in Regulation 18 of the Building Regulations 2010.
 

Persons who have carried out the building work or have made a material change of use of a building are reminded that permission may be required under the Town and Country Act.
 

Further information and advice concerning the Building Regulations and planning matters may be obtained from your local authority.
