Building Regs for Studio

Good news - as the garage is detached, under 30sqm and built from brick a full Building Regs inspection is not required. Therefore, construction can go ahead (once it is emptied that is). The only part which does require formal inspection is the electrics under Part P.

More info / pictures to follow soon....

THIS MAY BE THE CASE WERE YOU LIVE BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE FOR ALL OF THE UK !
ASK YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CONTROL BEFORE STARTING ANY BUILDING WORK !

I already did and had confirmation from the BCO that any building which is detached from the house, built of non-combustable materials and under 30sqm, it is not required - providing you don't want to sleep in it that is!

Check out Q6 and Q11 of this following link:
