Ask a question

A Full Plans application involves submitting detailed technical drawings to Building Control for approval before construction begins. A Building Notice is a simpler process where work can start without prior approval, but the builder takes the risk that the work may not comply. LateShield recommends Full Plans applications for most projects as they provide certainty before construction begins.

Building Control has five weeks to approve a Full Plans application, or two months if the applicant agrees to an extension. In practice, most straightforward applications are approved within four to six weeks. LateShield manages the process and responds to any queries from Building Control.

Building Control may raise queries or request additional information before approving the drawings. LateShield manages the query response process and coordinates any revisions required to achieve approval.

Yes. All loft conversions require Building Regulations approval, and a Full Plans application requires detailed technical drawings covering the structural design, fire safety, insulation and staircase.
