Your FAQ

Question: Is there a time limit within which I have to carry out my building work?

Answer: Yes. A Building Regulation application is valid for three years from the date of deposit. If work does not commence within this time a new application will be required if you wish to go ahead with the work. You will be required to meet the legislation in force at the time of your new application.

Note: Planning Applications are normally valid for five years and you should contact the Planning Department if you have any queries in respect of your Planning Application. - Related Link
