Building Safety Levy: starts 1 October 2026

The Building Safety Levy (BSL) will come into effect on 1 October 2026. It is a tax on new dwellings and new bedspaces in purpose‑built student accommodation (PBSA).

Developers must pay the levy on certain building control applications or notices before completion or occupation of the building. The Council will collect the levy.

The Building Safety Levy (England) Regulations 2025 sets out how the levy will operate.

We are legally required to publish public notices for certain types of development, including:

major development proposals
applications that are accompanied by an environmental statement
proposals within a conservation area
applications for listed building consent
development affecting a right of way
applications which do not accord with the development plan
