Certain buildings are exempt from building regulations. Examples of exempt buildings are small conservatories, porches and sheds. More details on exempt buildings are available from the planning portal.
Please be aware that you may still require planning permission.
Before undertaking any work which requires building regulations approval, it is your responsibility to ensure one of the following is submitted:
If building work has already been completed, you will need to apply for building regulations approval retrospectively. This is known as a Regularisation application. A fee is payable when you submit the application.
Regularisation applications can only be made if your building work was completed on or after 11 November 1985.
See our fees schedule document for details of what you need to pay for different types of application.
A fee exemption may apply to building works that are essential to enable a disabled person to use or move around a property. To apply for this exemption, please complete and return a Charge Exemption form with your Building regulations application.
Once your application has been received and accepted, we will give you an application reference number. You will need this before making your payment.
Payments can be made over the phone with a debit or credit card. Contact us to make your payment.
Cheques should be made payable to Leeds City Council. Please include your application reference number and post to us.
