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 favourite 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.
