Make a building regulations application

The building notice procedure is simpler than full plans. However, it is ideally only suitable for minor domestic work. For example:

• removing 1 or 2 internal load-bearing walls
• a small single storey domestic extension
• a new boiler, or other heating appliances
• a new chimney or flue
• a new detached garage, carport and outbuildings where not exempt from the building regulations
• new or replacement windows, rooflights and external doors
• replacing a roof covering a new bathroom, shower or toilet
• new drainage or connection to sewer
• underpinning cavity wall insulation

You cannot submit a building notice for work to a non-domestic building.

You can apply by:

• building notice on the Planning Portal
• in Aylesbury Vale you can also apply using MyAccount
• in Chiltern and South Bucks you can submit a building notice form
• in Wycombe you can apply by completing a building regulations application form (Word | 1.8 MB)

If you need to apply for replacement windows, rooflights or doors please use the replacement doors and windows application form.
