BUILDING REGULATIONS
SCHEME OF CHARGES
1 This Scheme is derived from the Local Government Association’s
Model Charges Scheme, drawn up in accordance with The
Building (Local Authority Charges) Regulations 2010, which
should be referred to on any point of clarity, or legal interpretation.
2 Before you carry out building work, you must ensure that the
necessary Application / Notices are submitted to the Authority.
3 If you submit a Full Plans Application, the local authority will
examine it and normally advise you of any necessary changes
required to meet the Building Regulations. Building Control
Officers will then inspect the work at various stages during
construction.
4 If you submit a satisfactory Building Notice, no accompanying
plans will be checked for compliance. However, Building Control
Officers will visit the site at additional intervals to determine
compliance with the Building Regulations.
5 Charges (all of which, excluding the Regularisation charge, attract
VAT) are payable as follows: -
5.1 Full Plans Application -
a) A Plan Charge, which covers the passing or rejection of the
plans, and is payable when the Application is deposited.
b) An Inspection Charge, which covers the inspection of work
to which the plans relate, and is payable on demand at any time
after the first inspection.
5.2 A Building Notice Charge is a once and for all payment
irrespective of the number of inspections made by the Building
Control Officer which is payable in full when the Application is
given to the Authority.
5.3 A Regularisation Charge is to cover the cost of assessing
your Application for Regularisation Certificate
including all the inspections necessary and is payable upon
submission of the Application. The Regularisation Charge payable
is the amount equal to 150 percent of the total Building Notice
Charge, but excludes VAT.
5.4 A Reversion Charge is payable on the first occasion the
plans are deposited with the Authority.
6 The Application or Notice, as applicable, must be accompanied by
the appropriate charge (and, where necessary, a reasonable
estimated cost of building work) otherwise it will be deemed as not
having been submitted and site work should not commence.
7 In certain cases the Local Authority may agree to charges being
paid by instalments. Please consult your building control office for
details.
8 Where plans have been either approved or rejected, no further
charge is payable on resubmission for substantially the same
work.
9 The following submissions do not attract a charge.
9.1 Insertion of insulating material into an existing cavity wall,
providing the installation is certified to an approved standard and
the work is carried out by an approved installer.
9.2 Installation of an approved unvented hot water system where
the work is carried out by an approved operative or is part of a
larger project.
9.3 Building work to provide access and facilities solely for
disabled persons in dwellings and buildings to which the public
have access.
10 The amount of charges payable depends on the type of work
shown in the following tables. Should you have any
difficulties determining the charges, please contact the
building control office at the address shown on the
application form.
TABLE A - CHARGES FOR THE ERECTION OF ONE OR MORE SMALL DOMESTIC
