Frequently Asked Questions
Is Building Regulation approval the same as Planning Permission?
No. Planning Permission is about how a building looks and its impact on the neighborhood. Building Regulations are about how it is constructed to ensure safety, health, and energy efficiency. You usually need both.
What happens if I build without Building Regulation approval?
You may face prosecution, a fine, or be forced to uncover or demolish work. Additionally, you will likely struggle to sell your property without a Completion Certificate.
Do I need these services for a simple internal wall removal?
Yes. Any structural alteration or change that affects fire safety (like removing a door to a kitchen) must comply with building regulations.
How long does the "Full Plans" approval take?
Most London councils or private inspectors provide a decision within 5 to 8 weeks, though you can often start work 2 days after the application is submitted (at your own risk).
