Charges
We have a charges scheme which is individual to this Authority
Charges for Advice
General advice and information is offered free of charge.
We also charge for specific advice prior to making an application. This charge is waived when an application is formally deposited with the Authority.
We will advise you of the cost of our service prior to making an application if you need us to.
What charges are payable?
The charge payable is related to the type of work, and is headed in four separate tables:
- Table A - New Housing
- Table B - Domestic extensions and certain small buildings
- Table C - Domestic alterations to a single building
- Table D - All non-domestic work
Please follow the link at the bottom of this page to our applications form page to access the Building Regulation charges tables.
Please note: in the unlikely event of an application being withdrawn after registration but before the Building Control Officer has commenced his work all charges will be refunded with the exception of a non-returnable deposit of £60 including VAT
Exemption from charges
Building work carried out solely for the benefit of disabled persons in dwellings or to buildings to which the public are admitted (whether on payment or otherwise) are in certain circumstances exempt from these charges. Please contact us if you feel that this applies to you.
For more information read the guidance note to the Building Control charges Scheme on our applications form page.
