Charges are payable for most types of Building Regulation
applications.
The exact amount you will pay depends on the type and size of
the project.
We can help you calculate the correct charge or you can download
our
fees sheet (pdf, Dec 10, 696kB).
The charge is the same for a
Full Plans application and a
Building Notice.
However, the charge for a
Building Notice must be paid in full when the notice is
submitted, while the charge for full plans is usually paid in two
stages – a Plan charge and an Inspection charge.
- The Plan charge covers the cost of checking your application
and is payable when the application is submitted
- The Inspection charge covers the cost of all the inspections we
make and is payable once the work starts on site.
For full plans agents should make sure their clients are aware
that an inspection charge will be invoiced when building work
starts, and how much it will be.
Where the work is solely for the benefit of people with
disabilities, charges may not be payable. A certificate or letter
is required from a health professional to this effect (for example
from a doctor or occupational therapist) in support of an
application for exemption from charges.
