What happens if I contravene the Building Regulations?
The vast majority of contraventions are initially looked after by ourselves in Building Control and where possible a remedy will be suggested to help rectify the problem.
Please note: We will not act on your behalf as an architect, engineer or designer. If necessary you may need to employ a specialist to provide you with advice and guidance on how to rectify the contravention.
If you contravene the Building Regulations by building without notifying Building Control or by carrying out work which does not comply, the Council can prosecute. If you are convicted, you are liable to a penalty of up to £5000 for each offence and a further fine of up to £50 for each day that the default continues. If you do not put the work right when asked to do so, the Council has the power to carry out the work and recover the costs from you
