Building control

Building Control advise on buildings and building works to ensure the health, safety, welfare and convenience of people using them.

We offer a fast, proactive and customer-focused service within the City and District.

We aim to help achieve compliance with the Building Regulations in the most cost-effective manner, whilst maintaining the original design concept.

We can give pre-application advice and work with you to develop your scheme, which can result in cost savings.

We have close links with other Council services, including Hertfordshire County Fire and Rescue.

We can offer a development team approach, which is unique to Local Authority Building Control.
