Which application method should I use?
You Must Do One of the Following:
Either:
(i) Deposit Full Plans; or
(ii) Submit a Building Notice (except for work where the building is to be put to a use designated under the Fire Regulatory Reform Order , such as a shop, office, hotel, boarding house, or certain type of factory).
For a Full Plans application, plans need to be produced showing all constructional details, preferably well in advance of your intended commencement on site. For the Building Notice procedure less detailed plans are required. In both these cases your application or notice should be submitted to the Local Authority and should be accompanied by any relevant structural calculations, i.e. to demonstrate compliance with safety requirements on the structure of the building. It is advisable that this be undertaken by a person competent to do so.
