UK Regulations
for Building Projects
Building projects in the UK are subject
to Planning Law and Building Regulations. Work to listed buildings
requires listed building consent. The laws are complex and we
suggest you obtain the services of an architect,
but below we list where you can find current legislation.
A good starting point is the
Planning Portal,
a Central Government website for planning and Building Regulations
information in England and Wales. The free service allows users
to learn about the planning system, view the Building Regulations,
find out if they require planning and/or Building Regulations
consent and apply for planning permission online. It provides
planning and Building Control information in an easy-to-understand
format -users can access an interactive tool to find out how
planning and the Building Regulations can affect different projects
around the home. Should you wish to submit a planning application
online, the step-by-step help-text will guide you through the
process.
