Once your application has been validated, you will be sent an acceptance letter by email, and your file will be passed to a Building Control Surveyor for plan-checking. The surveyor will contact you with a list of any additional information that is required to be able to make a decision. A decision notice will be issued once the surveyor has fully checked the plans and is happy with the information provided, or the plan check deadline is reached, whichever is first.
Once the application has been validated, you may be able to start work on site and book your inspections, but please contact us for advice if you are planning to start work before the plans have been approved. It may be worth noting that any work that is carried out prior to the decision notice being issued is at your own risk.
