Are you considering carrying out a building project on your property? If so, you may be wondering if you need to get approval from building control. The answer depends on a number of factors, including the type of project and its size.

In general, any project that involves building or altering a structure or making changes to the existing structure of a building must be approved by building control. This includes things like alterations, extensions, new builds, loft conversions, and structural repairs. However, some projects may be exempt from building control.

The types of projects that may not require building control approval include internal alterations, such as installing a new kitchen or bathroom, or small-scale extensions, such as adding a porch or conservatory. It is also important to check your local authority’s guidelines, as this could affect whether or not you will need to apply for building control approval.
