main content A guide to Regularisation application

There are occasions when building work is carried out without having first obtained the necessary Building Regulations approval. It may be possible to issue a Regularisation Certificate retrospectively. Contact us and we may be able to help and can give advice.

Eligibility

Our service is only applicable to properties in the borough. We are members of the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) and if the property is not in this borough, LABC website can give you further help.

Details

 A Regularisation Certificate can only be issued if:

• the work conforms with current Building Regulations and is of an acceptable standard;
• work started after November 11th 1985. 

Costs

A schedule of charges is attached to the Regularisation application form for your information. Please note, our charges, effective from 1st April 2007, are still current.

Next Steps

The application must describe the extent of the unauthorised work and where possible include a plan of that work. You should also detail any additional work you intend to carry out to secure compliance with the requirements of the current Building Regulations.

On receipt of the application we may ask for certain parts of the work to be available for inspection and may require alterations to be carried out before the Regularisation Certificate can be issued.

To obtain a Regularisation Certificate use the Regularisation application form and enclose the correct payment.
