We deal with the development of new
buildings, extensions and alterations to existing ones and their
use within North Somerset.
You or your agent must advise us prior to starting any work by
either submitting a full plans application form with technical
drawings showing your proposal for approval or via the Building
Notice procedure.
Building Notices may not be submitted for buildings which will
front the road, are to be erected over a sewer or drain or will be
certified under the
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety)
Order 2005 when the works have finished.
Our surveyors will then examine your plans to ensure your
proposals comply with building regulations which include the
following aspects:
- Access
- Drainage
- Electrical installations
- Fire-related issues
- Glazing
- Heating and hot water installations
- Hygiene
- Power and fuel conservation
- Sound insulation
- Stairs and ramps
- Structural stability
- Ventilation
- Weather resistance
Once you have told us you are about to start work our
surveyors will arrange an on-site inspection.
When we are satisfied the completed building works comply
with these regulations we will issue a Certificate of
Completion.
We also deal with dangerous buildings, demolitions and safety at
sports grounds and large public events.
Planning approval may also be necessary with
planning advice available
through this website or by contacting
Development
Control. |
