Building regulations consent
For most building projects, you will need building regulation consent to make sure the work complies with current regulations. Meeting the requirements of the building regulations is the responsibility of the person carrying out the building work and, if they are not the same person, the owner of the building.
Building Regulations are in place to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of people in and around buildings, securing access and facilities for disabled people and the conservation of fuel and power.

- Erect and/or extend any type of building
