PROCEDURE
Requests can be made by email or in writing (see below). A site plan should accompany all requests to guarantee the accuracy of the information provided.

We will endeavour to answer a personal search within 48 hours of receipt. However, please note that in most circumstances the response will not be returned until payment has been received.


WHAT WILL THE SEARCH CONTAIN?
As part of the personal search we will answer the relevant parts of CON29 questions 1.1, 3.7, 3.8 and will also answer 3.13 (Radon). A Building Control Schedule will be provided in response to all searches.


CHARGES
A charge of £5 (VAT exempt) will be payable per address / land parcel to be searched.

If you require a copy of a Building Regulation document which is referred to on the search result this will be charged at a fee of £10.00 + VAT, per copy.


MAKING YOUR PAYMENT
Payments can be made by cheque (made payable to ‘Isle of Wight Council’), in cash or over the telephone (tel 01983 823580). We are currently developing a web form to allow online requests / payments.
