Building Notice method is most suitable when small works are to be done and so detailed plans are unnecessary. As no approval is given, good liaison between the builder and the Building Control Surveyor is essential to make sure that work is correct. This method is not allowed for work on commercial buildings or where a new building is to be constructed fronting onto a private street. It helps us if you submit a marked up sketch showing the location of the building in relation to others in the area. The Local Authority can if it thinks necessary request details and calculations for the work.

Examples of suitable uses are as follows:

• domestic internal alterations
• removal of load bearing wall
• small domestic extension
• alterations to domestic drainage
• fitting a new load bearing bay window
• replacement windows
