Building control fees to pay
Plan fee
This is paid after you have completed a full plans application, and covers our costs in administering the application and checking your plans and specifications.
Inspection fee
This is payable after the first inspection has been made on a full plans application. The cost covers visiting the site, inspecting the work and issuing a completion certificate.
Building notice fee
This is payable when the building notice is given to us. This charge covers site inspections and any design checking.
Already started work (regularisation) fee
This must be paid when you have completed a regularisation application for unauthorised work. The charge covers all administration, site checks and inspections. Fees are not payable when work is carried out to buildings which have specific facilities added to support disabled people.
What does it cost?
We charge different fees depending on whether the work is residential or commercial.
Residential
This applies to domestic buildings, including new builds and extensions.
Commercial
This applies to all non domestic buildings.
Individual
If your proposed building work does not fit into either of the above categories we can provide you with a quote for an individual fee to cover plans and inspections.
