value for money fee charges. We now set our own fees at a non-profit making level thus giving a value for money service.

We hope you find the information and advice on this web site useful. Further development of the site will allow for on line submission of Building Regulation applications, including fees and drawings.

Building Regulations - What are they and why do we need them?

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) makes Building Regulations under the powers of the Building Act 1984. This Act also gives power to Local Authorities to ensure that the requirements of Building Regulations are met. Scotland has its own Regulations.

Building Regulations are necessary to ensure that the minimum standards of design and construction for new buildings, alterations and extensions are met. The Standards:

safeguard the health and safety of persons in and around the buildings;

conserve energy through insulation and control usage;

provide access and facilities in and around buildings.

Runnymede Borough Council Building Control Services offer both Local Level Services and National Level Services - tailoring our services to your needs.
