Planning Permission and Building Regulations

Planning Permission refers to the appearance of the proposal and any effects this will have on the surrounding environment and/or any neighbouring properties. It will be assessed whether the proposed development fits in with the relevant policies and whether it will cause any harmful impacts.

Building Regulations, sometimes referred to as Building Control, is where any technical and constructional details of the building works are approved to ensure the health and safety of people in and around the building. This covers areas such as structural, safety and accessibility aspects of the proposed development; in some cases building inspectors will come and check on the progress throughout the construction period.

In summary, when you make a planning application you are requesting the authorisation to be 
able to carry out the proposed work, whereas a building regulations application means you are requesting to have the details of your building work checked and approved for compliance.

It is worth noting that both are different and are covered by separate pieces of legislation; 
because of this, please do not assume that one grants consent for another.

Sometimes you may need both; sometimes you may only need one; or sometimes none at all

DISCLAIMER: If in any doubt, please contact the office to discuss.
