Welcome to Building Control Services

Building Control is responsible for ensuring a healthy and safe built environment within the borough. This is achieved by ensuring that new building works comply with the National Building regulations.

The Building Regulations legislate for:

  • The health, safety and welfare of people in and around buildings.
  • The conservation of fuel and power.
  • The provision for access and facilities for the disabled.

What services do we provide?

  • Checking submitted drawings, specifications and calculations for compliance with the Building Regulations
  • Inspecting building works within the borough to ensure that they are constructed in such a way that they are at least to the acceptable minimum standards set out in the Approved Documents.
  • Dealing with any reported Dangerous Structures.
  • Issuing Street Names and Numbers.
  • Public Entertainment Licensing.
  • Safety of Sports Grounds
