Building Control - Schedule of Charges
Schedule of Charges Guidance Notes
The following tables available for download provide guidance on charges for Building Regulation applications in Pendle Borough. They are not, however, intended as a substitute for the Borough Council Scheme of Charges.
Full Plans
This is the most common type of application and involves the submission of detailed plans for approval. A plan charge is payable on deposit of the application and an inspection charge is payable after work has commenced and the first inspection has been made.
Building Notice
This type of application does not involve the submission of detailed plans for approval. It is suitable for minor domestic applications but can not be used where the building is a workplace. The Building Notice charge must be paid on deposit of the application with the Council.
Exemption for disabled work
Where work is to provide access or facilities in an existing dwelling for a disabled person no charge is payable.
Regularisation Charge
This is 120% of the Building Notice charge.
Total estimated cost
This means a reasonable estimate of what would be charged by a professional builder to carry out the work (excluding professional fees and VAT).
Multiple Charge
Where plans show more than one type of work (i.e. different charge categories) the charge payable is aggregated accordingly.
Installments
For certain larger projects the charges may be paid by installments.
