Building Control

 

 

 

 

Richmondshire District Council is responsible for ensuring that buildings are properly designed and constructed so as to ensure the health, safety, welfare and convenience of people using them.

 

All building work must comply with the  Building Regulations current at the time the work is undertaken. 

 

The building control team in the Environment Service administer the Council's building control service.

 

There are three ways to ensure compliance, two through the Council, and one by the use of a private building control provider. The local authority inspect plans for new buildings to check compliance with regulations and periodically inspect the site during construction to ensure approved plans are adhered to.
