Charges for Building Regulation Applications depend upon the type of work you are proposing to do and the type of application deposited.
Full plans
This application requires two sets of detailed drawings for domestic works and four sets for commercial works, to be submitted for approval under Building Regulations. A Full Plans application gives you assurance that, providing the work is carried out in accordance with the approved plans, the regulations will be satisfied and this type of application must always be used for commercial work. The plan charge is submitted with the application and the inspection charge is invoiced when work on site starts. All charges are subject to VAT.
Building notice
This application does not require plans at the submission stage, therefore no written Notice of Approval is issued prior to work commencing. The emphasis is placed on site control. The disadvantage of using this type of application is that you will not have approved drawings or specification to work from. A site plan needs to be deposited with this application. The building notice charge is stated on the tables and is subject to VAT.
Regularisation Application
These are applications in respect of works that have been carried out without any other Building Regulation application having been made. It is important to appreciate that you may be requested to expose critical areas of construction and provide calculations in order for Building Control to ascertain compliance with Building Regulations. The fee for this type of application is not subject to VAT.
If you need assistance calculating the appropriate charges please contact Building Control on 01256 845237 or email building.control@basingstoke.gov.uk
Please make all cheques payable to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council
