About building control

Planning a small extension, a brand-new build, or simply changing how you use your space? Before taking the first step, get in touch with us. We’ll help ensure everything is on the right track from the start.

We can provide top-quality service to the public, offering free advice on the listed services.   

  • building regulations – we offer guidance on the Building Regulations 2010 and other statutory instruments 
  • pre-application advice
  • advice throughout your building project for submitted applications 

The extent of this advice may be limited if a formal application is not submitted. We are unable to provide design advice, so we recommend consulting a competent professional for any detailed design matters, for example, an architect or structural engineer.
