Building Control

The Building Control section deals with applications submitted in relation to Building Regulations and with demolitions and dangerous structures.

Building Regulations are approved by Parliament and deal with the minimum standards of design and building work for the construction of domestic, commercial and industrial buildings. In addition, they set out the definitions of what is regarded as 'building work' and the procedures for ensuring that it meets the standards laid down.
