Building Control Approval
Where a property has had structural changes made to it (say it has been converted from a house into apartments or an internal wall has been removed) the owner will need the local authority to approve the works have been carried out to certain minimum standards as defined in law.
This is known as 'Building Control Approval'. Usually, but not always planning consent is also required.
