Is Building Regulation approval the same as Planning Permission?
In order to carry out building work, it is advisable to check if you need building regulation approval or planning permission or both.
Building regulations approval and planning permission are two very different and separate processes. You may need to apply for both separately.
Building regulation approval is concerned with how buildings are actually constructed.
Planning permission is concerned with development and use of land and regulates this in the public interest. The appearance of a development and how it will impact on neighbouring developments and the environment are important considerations.
