Planning applications are the formal requests submitted to local councils for permission to carry out building work such as loft conversions, extensions, or new builds. They focus on design, scale, and how the project fits within local planning policies.

Building regulations, on the other hand, are the legal standards that ensure construction is safe, structurally sound, energy‑efficient, and compliant with national requirements. They cover areas such as fire safety, insulation, ventilation, and accessibility.

Inspections are carried out by council or approved inspectors during and after construction to confirm that the work complies with building regulations. These checks are essential to avoid enforcement action or costly modifications.

Build‑over agreements apply when construction work is carried out over or near public sewers. Approval from the water authority is required to ensure the sewer system remains accessible and protected.
