Introduction
If you are intending to carry out building works you must submit an application to Building Control. Your application may be in the form of Full Plans or Building Notice.
Hertfordshire Building Control are able to accept online submissions. Please see
hertfordshirebc.co.uk/apply-here-for-building-control.
You may also require Planning Permission. Please contact your local planning department if in doubt.
Work on site must not start until at least two working days after depositing an acceptable application with Building Control. Please give notice of commencement (preferably in writing either by email or post) providing your builders details and contact numbers. Applications expire after 3 years if work has not started. There are three types of applications; Full Plans, Building Notice and Regularisation. See leaflet: Regularisations for further guidance on applications where the work has already been carried out.
