Building control

Maidstone Council Building Control seeks to ensure high standards in construction work to protect the health and safety of people in or around buildings, ensure the requirements of people with disabilities are met and to tackle the key contributors to climate change.

Building Regulation approval is a different matter to obtaining planning permission for your work. Similarly receiving any planning permission that your work may require is not the same as taking action to ensure that it complies with the Building Regulations.
