Broadland Architectural can produce your Building Regulations plans, either as part of a combined package with your new development, or as a separate stand alone project, possibly for a building for which you already have Planning Approval. There is a wide and varying number of issues concerning Building Regulations, and if in doubt, it is best to contact the Building Control office for advice. For example, with regards to a flat roof, where a roof is altered by the removal and replacement of at least 25 per cent of a layer or layers, this work is considered to be a renovation and is therefore classed as building work which remains notifiable and requires a Building Regulations application to be deposited with Building Control, unless your chosen contractor is registered with ‘Competent Roofer’ -
The person undertaking the work can be prosecuted and fined if they do not comply with Building Regulations, and the local authority could make you pay for faulty work to be fixed. In addition, without approval you won’t have the certificates of compliance you may need when you want to sell your home.

Building Regulations is often a confusing area for many people undertaking work on their property. A project which needs Planning Permission, may not need Building Regulations approval, and a project which does not need Planning Permission may need Building Regulations approval. Quite often, for most larger projects, both are applicable.
Building Regulations are minimum standards for design, construction and alterations to virtually every building, but also for extension, or conversions. They are developed by the Government and legally approved by Parliament.
Whilst Planning Permission relates to the external appearance of a proposed property and it’s ‘impact’ upon the neighbouring properties and surrounding area, and is dealt with by the Council Planning Department, Building Regulations is undertaken by the local Building Control office. This is a separate governing body, and relates to the construction and structure of the property and issues such as insulation, glazing, structural steelwork, foundations, ventilation, disabled access requirements, fire safety and a wide host of issues, often very complicated, sometimes simply common-

Building Regulations can be complicated and confusing, but are a key part to modern building developments, either from simply ensuring your new extension has sufficient insulation to meet the latest E.U. regulations, to ensuring a design legally complies with the latest disabled access requirements. Broadland Architectural can ensure your design complies, and help you with any aspects of Building Regulations for your proposed development.
