North Worcestershire Building Control

North Worcestershire Building Control brings together the Building Control Departments of Bromsgrove District Council, Redditch Borough Council and Wyre Forrest District Council into one cohesive partnership, sharing resources and expertise to provide a modern, flexible Building Control Service.

Building Control

The main function of the building control surveyor relates to the processing of Building Regulation applications for the design and construction of buildings, the provision of disabled access, means of escape, insulation provisions, services, fittings, equipment and the subsequent site inspection work.

All our building control surveyors are professionally qualified, with an extensive knowledge of the area and the building regulations, including expertise and further qualifications in fire engineering.

We operate a quality system to BS ISO 9001:2008, which is regularly assessed and registered by the British Standards Institution. We are active participants in the development team approach, which allows us to offer a complete service to customers, and we welcome pre-submission consultations.

However we recommend you contact a Planning Officer in the first instance, as this is where the principle of development is agreed.

A copy of our application forms and charges schedule are also available from these web-pages for your convenience. However, at the moment, whilst it is not possible to submit electronic applications to us you are free to submit your application via email with separate payment -please contact us prior to submitting this way.

A completed form with a written signature is required in order for an application to be valid.

The Building Control section has a Help Line telephone number -  01527 881402. Please use this number for general enquiries and to arrange appointments, free of charge, for our pre-application service. 

As from 1st January 2012 - please submit all applications for North Worcestershire direct to the Bromsgrove address. Application cheques should still be made payable to the relevant Council dependant upon the address of the building works.
