Introduction

If you choose to use a local authority building control service, there are three types of application for approval you can make.

There is a charge payable for these applications, which may vary between Local Authorities, but is regulated by the Building (local authority charges) Regulations 2010. You should contact your local authority for details of their charges.

Building control applications can be submitted to participating building control bodies online using the Planning Portal Wales service1.
You can request and manage a fee, attach supporting documents and pay for your application using this service.
