Building Control Help and Advice

We are always willing to give advice and technical assistance to applicants especially on the more complex proposals. Through discussion we can help to overcome possible problems. Because building control staff spend a large part of their time carrying out site inspections it is not always possible to provide "on tap" advice. Therefore it is helpful if appointments can be made with prior agreement.
