Determinations and Appeals

If you believe that your work cannot be expected to comply with one or more of the requirements in the Building Regulations because they are too onerous or inappropriate, you have the right to apply to your local authority for a relaxation or dispensation of the requirement(s) in question in order for your completed building work to be considered to achieve compliance.

If the local authority refuses your application you have a right of appeal to the Welsh Ministers in the Welsh Assembly Government against that refusal, providing you do so within one month of that decision.
