Building Regulation Fees and Charges*
We do have the ability to adjust our fees to represent the complexity and risks involved within each individual project, please contact us should you require a copy of our current fees and regulations schedule. We will be happy to provide you with a quote for your proposed works.
To view which Building Control Officer covers your area and for contact details, please see this map.
Making a Building Control Application
You can apply by using one of the following methods: -
- By sending the application forms and details directly to Craven District by email, post or hand deliver, please see contact us for further details.
- Online through the Planning Portal. Once you have registered for the site, you can complete your application form, buy site location plans, upload supporting documents and pay fees online.
Once the application has been received the fee will be requested as part of the formal registration process by the Admin Support Team.
Full Plans Submission
A 'Full Plans' submission should contain:
- Completed Application form
- A set of detailed constructional drawings to a recognised scale
- Site location plan
- Structural calculations, where applicable.
Upon receipt the area Building Control Surveyor will check your application.
Once your application is valid it will be processed as quickly as possible. This may take up to 5 weeks (or 2 months by agreement) as set out in the Building Act 1984.

Building Notice Submission
This is a simpler approach particularly suitable for smaller projects such as bathroom installations, minor structural alterations, however no formal approval is given on a 'Building Notice' therefore you do not have the same protection afforded by approval of detailed building plans as you would have under the 'Full Plans' procedure.
A Building Notice can be only used for domestic work. You may commence work 48 hours after depositing a valid building notice.
A 'Building Notice' submission should contain:
- Completed Application form
- Site location plan

Regularisation Submission
This option is when you have completed work without applying for Building Regulations.
A 'Regularisation' submission should contain:
- Completed Application form
- Site location plan
- Plans detailing the works which have been carried out
The works will be inspected and we will let you know if anything needs to be done for a Regularisation Certificate to be issued.
Some parts may need to be opened up for inspection and we will advise you. We will try to keep this to a minimum.
