'Full Plans' means the submission of fully detailed plans,
specifications, calculations and other supporting details to enable
the Building Control Officer to check compliance with the Building
Regulations.
The amount of detail depends on the size and type of building works
proposed. You should include a location plan showing where the
building is relative to neighbouring streets.
Some of the advantages of using the Full Plans method are:
- The plans can be examined and approved before work
commences
- The builder can work to the approved drawings in the knowledge
that the detail complies with the regulations
- We aim to check submitted details within 15 working
days of deposit. This means that, even where work has commenced,
problems can be identified before work reaches an advanced
stage
- Copies of the Approval Notice will be issued together with
plans stamped approved and these can be retained with the property
details
- The work is still subject to inspection at relevant stages
- A Completion Certificate is issued on satisfactory completion
of the work
- Approved plans may be used for up to three years after deposit
even if regulations change.
