Full Plans Application

When making a Building Application, there are two ways of achieving this - Full Plans or Building Notice. Listed below are the main features of a Full Plans submission.

• They can be used for ALL types of building work.

• They require two copies of plans to be deposited (four copies for designated buildings) together with two copies of Full Plans application forms (four in the case of Designated buildings).

• Fees are payable in two stages: first at time plans are deposited and second following first site inspection.

• They can take up to five weeks (two months if agreed) for decision.

• Provided you follow the approved plans you are normally assured that when inspections are carried out, the work will comply.

• Amended plans can be submitted, provided the scheme remains substantially the same.

• Approval notice expires three years after being submitted..

The alternative is to use a Building Notice.

Charges

All submissions under the Building Regulations attract a charge with the exception of works being carried out for the benefit of a disabled person.
