If an Approved Inspector is used, before any controlled building work can start on site they must inform the local authority about the work. This is called giving an 'initial notice'. This notice states that a particular Approved Inspector is the BCB for the specified works, at the specified location. </p><p>If using a local authority, approval can be obtained in 1 of 3 ways:- </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="1._Full_Plans">1.

And a response from the Local Authority will typically take 4–8 weeks. However, unlike <a href="/wiki/Planning_permission" title="Planning permission">planning permission</a>, work may start before approval has been granted. It is also quite usual for the final building to differ in some respects to that which received full plans approval, in which case amended "as built" plans are often required to be submitted to the Local Authority.

The Local Authority will assess, and verify by means of site visits, plans and information submitted, identify non-compliant items, open up and inspect works, monitor the making good of defective work and, if satisfied, issue a Certificate. </p><p>An application for a Regularisation Certificate does not prevent the Authority taking legal action for failure to comply with the Building Regulations when the work was first carried out. </p><p>Generally <b>Fees</b> are paid to the Building Control Body, with each application.
