Building Regs

[454697819]

Does anyone here have a set of approved plans from a building regs office which I could pinch so I know what sort of information to put on mine?

whilst I am quite capable of putting the drawings and information together no where that I can find (including my local Building regs office) gives me a list of what needs to be included in the submission!

Ta Muchly!

Not at the moment Alex but within a week or two yes, as we have applied for building regs for some alterations to Anne's new place. I'll send em on to you once they're OK'd.

If you introduce a very simple 'mistake' i.e.
a sum of some dimensions with 2 numbers transposed
It is usually picked up early and plans returned with line
plans OK except for 'mistake'
I may be cynical but if no errors present,
the approval process takes longer

Wonder whether that's just in your area dude?

I do BR submissions all the time in Yorkshire and they tend to come back well within the expected time frames :confused:

OP, what type of building we talking about? Residential stuff?

It depends what your applying for, to what information is needed. Anyway, if you send what you have they will either approve it or conditionaly approve it, outlining what else needs to be covered. If your getting your plans drawn up by an architect they should have a good idea as to what is needed.

yes mate,

its the BR submission for my extension, I am awaiting planning approval but i thought whislt I wait I could draw up the BR plans as I have the combined knowledge but dont know how to lay it out on plans,

Im happy to pay a professional for advice etc once I have PP, but would rather do the drawings myself,

I have heard they are fairly swift around here to be honest, time is the issue, but money is!

You should be able to just submit a building notice where you wont need to enter any plans, its just a simple form!

for an extension I need to submit full plans, I would be more comfortable doing this anyway...

[staceylew01]

OK fair enough, it must be different in other areas. in our area your allowed to submit anything residential on a building notice including new dwellings.

You dont have to put in full fan dango plans with every single building reg wrote on it.
I have submitted them myself with very basic drawings and then they have just requested if needed to give more info.
Just highlight, insulation, size of footings, drainage etc and all the big stuff inc square metres of extension.
Our local BCO's are just mad on conservation of energy, so insulation has to be the correct size and material, ventilation etc etc.

If it's within your permitted expansion allowance, and it's a single storey extension it shoiuld be able to go in on notice, but I can understand why you'd want regs just for the piece of mind.

I don't have anything approved, but I do have some that are on some drawings I've done for a relative (not knowing if it was going to be regs or notice). They are fairly comprehensive. PM me your e-mail address if you want a copy and whether you need them in .pdf or if you have autocad.
