Does my project need building regulation approval?

Yes building regulations are needed, if you are proposing any new building work (such as a wall) or structural alternation such a loft conversion.

Proposals that are exempt from need of building regulations include:

Porches (providing it does not exceed 30m2)
Car Ports (subject to them being open on two sides and, again, less then 30m²)
Conservatories (providing it does not exceed 30m2 and have at least 75% of the roof and 50% of the walls glazed with a translucent material)
Most Sheds and greenhouses
Doors and Windows
Manhole Drains
Summer Houses
Domestic garages

What are Building Regulations?

Building regulations are standards for the construction and energy efficiency of buildings. I consider all circumstances and people including those with disabilities and requirements for ease of access.

Part A – Structure
Part B – Fire Safety
Part C – Contamination and damp
Part D – Toxicity
Part E – Sound
Part F – Ventilation
Part G – Hygiene
Part H – Drainage
Part J – Fuel
Part K – On-site Safety
Part L – Energy efficiency
Part M – Access
Part N – Glazing
Part P – Electrics

The Building Regulations are profiled in Approved Documents, which are updated fairly regularly. New ‘Parts’ are published periodically – for instance Part P changed in 2006; Part L was updated again in 2010.
