Building Control: Initiatives

National House Type Approval

The Local Authority Building Control Type Approval scheme provides for approval of standard designs for new housing and building systems.

Once your initial application has been approved - the type approved design can be repeated anywhere throughout England and Wales. Only site specific details such as foundations; access to the building; and drainage will be subject to individual approvals.

All you have to do is to submit three copies of all detailed plans, specifications and calculations to a Local Authority Building Control section of your choice- together with a request for National Type Approval.

Provided your plans comply with all the relevant legislation, you will be granted a Type Approval Certificate, valid for three years.
