Building Control Application Forms and Fee Information

A valid Building Regulations application must be made before the start of any building work. This may take the form of a Full Plans application, or in certain cases a Building Notice. In either case the correct fee must be included before the application can be validated.

From 1 October 2023, the building regulations procedures have changed significantly. This includes changes to the application process. Please ensure you refer to the notes and checklist documents, before submitting your Building Regulations application.

Please complete the appropriate form, save, and submit with all supporting documentation to bc@e-lindsey.gov.uk
