BUILDING REGULATION APPROVAL

If you are submitting conservatory plans for Building Regulation Approval, you will need to show all the construction details well in advance of when work is due to start. Your local council will check your plans and consult any third-party authorities (e.g. fire and sewerage).

They should finish their review and give you a decision within five weeks of submitting your plans, or, if you agree, a maximum of two months from the date of their deposit.

If your plans "pass" Building Regulations you will receive a notice stating that they have been approved. If your council is not satisfied you may be asked to make amendments or provide further details. Sometimes, conditional approval may be given subject to modifications being made to the plans.

Once approval is given it is valid for three years from the date of deposit of the plans.

The local authority building control service will inspect the work at certain stages throughout the project.
