Important: This questionnaire is designed so that the Local Authority can determine whether an application under the Building Regulations is required. It will not be used to decide whether planning permission is necessary. You will need to consider these issues separately and obtain the appropriate application form from the Development Advice and Control Section (Telephone 01623 457394). Advice on requirements from Ashfield Homes as landlords or former landlords should also be sought separately from the Community Services Department Housing Section.
