How do I find out about Building Regulations?

If you are new to the Building Regulations, our section on planning permission and the Building Regulations is a good place to start¹. 

It explains how the two regimes work and advises you on your responsibilities.

If you are looking for more detailed information on the building control regime, we have a large section on the site dedicated to the subject².

The Planning Portal is also the home of the Approved Documents on the web. You can download the Approved Documents and associated guidance from here³.
