Building regulations

Building regulations are about making sure all buildings are habitable, safe, dry and warm, when building or making alterations to your property.

Getting building work approval will guarantee that the work is safe and complies with building regulations standards as well as protecting you against rogue builders. So you should seek building control advice before starting any building project.

All the information you need about building regulations including approved documents are available on the Planning Portal.
