The information which you can access from this page is provided for guidance only. Its aim is to bring items of relevance to the attention of anyone who is proposing to carry out building work.

For example you may not immediately consider that your building work is subject to control by the permissions of other services and people. However the Party Wall etc. Act or Planning Permission may apply, and to disregard them may cause problems at a later date.
