Apply for regularisation

If you completed works without our approval, you need to apply for retrospective building control approval through a process called regularisation.
Planning service charges

Planning services have introduced new charges for withdrawing planning applications that have not been validated. These charges are to recover administrative costs. The charge for Non-Major applications is £41.67 (£50 including VAT) and for Major applications, it is £125 (£150 including VAT).

What happens when you apply for regularisation

  • After you apply for regularisation our staff will inspect the work.
  • This may mean exposing parts of the construction.
  • If the work is found to be deficient in any way, you must do additional work to make it comply with regulations.

You need to pay a fee to us when you apply for regularisation. View our building control fees.

Apply for regularisation

After you complete your application:

  • We will send you an email confirmation with your reference number, after we receive your application.
  • You’ll be given the name and contact details of your site inspector while we process your application.
