This tenth edition of the most popular and trusted guide reflects all the latest amendments to the Building Regulations, planning permission, and the Approved Documents in England and Wales. This includes coverage of the recent changes to use classes, updated sections on planning permission, permitted development, and application fees. We have included the revisions to Approved Document B (as a result of the Hackitt Review), as well as the latest changes to Approved Documents F and L, and the new documents O (overheating) and S (electric vehicle charging points), which come into effect in June 2022.

Giving practical information throughout on how to work with (and within) the Regulations, this book enables compliance in the simplest and most cost-effective manner possible. The no-nonsense approach of Building Regulations in Brief cuts through any confusion and explains the meaning of the Regulations. Consequently, it has become a favorite for anyone working in or studying the building industry, as well as those planning to have work carried out on their home. It is essential reading for all building contractors and subcontractors, site engineers, building engineers, building control officers, building surveyors, architects, construction site managers, and DIYers.

The book is divided into four main sections:

Section 1: Introduction to the Building Regulations

This section provides an overview of the Building Regulations and their purpose. It explains the different types of buildings covered by the Regulations, such as residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, and the different requirements that apply to each type.

Section 2: Planning Permission

This section covers the process of applying for planning permission and the requirements that must be met. It includes information on the different types of planning applications, such as full planning applications, outline planning applications, and permitted development applications, and the criteria that must be satisfied to obtain permission.

Section 3: Permitted Development

This section provides information on the permitted development rights that allow certain types of development to be carried out without the need for planning permission. It includes information on the criteria that must be satisfied to qualify for permitted development, such as the size and location of the development, the impact on the surrounding environment, and the use of the land.

Section 4: Building Control

This section covers the role of building control officers and the processes that they follow to ensure that buildings are constructed in compliance with the Building Regulations. It includes information on the inspections that are carried out, the enforcement actions that can be taken, and the penalties that can be imposed for non-compliance.

In addition to the main sections, the book also includes a number of appendices that provide further information and guidance on specific topics. These appendices include:

Appendix A: Glossary of Building Regulations terms

Appendix B: Checklist of Building Regulations requirements

Appendix C: Examples of Building Regulations compliance

Appendix D: Useful contacts and resources

Overall, Building Regulations in Brief is a comprehensive and practical guide to the Building Regulations in England and Wales. It is essential reading for anyone working in or studying the building industry, as well as those planning to have work carried out on their home.
