Building regulation fees for new dwellings
There are two application types for new dwellings - building control approval with full plans and building notice.
The charges are based on the number of homes being built and the different design types for each dwelling. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and get a quote.
Large or complex developments
For larger developments of more than 6 dwellings, fees may be negotiable. This includes where there are more than 6 house or flat types, or where the floor area of individual dwellings exceed 500m2. Please get in touch so we can assess the charge.
You can email building.control@liverpool.gov.uk detailing the proposed work and we will provide you with a fee quote.
Other charges
Additional site visits
Charges are based on a maximum of 10 site inspections. Not all work will require this many inspections but if more than 10 inspections are required we may make an additional charge based upon an hourly rate.
Invoices
Where invoices are issued we expect payment within 28 days. If debt recovery exceeds 60 days a default charge for recovery of £125 will be applied in addition to the outstanding amount.
Completion inspections after 12 months
There will be an additional charge of £75 for completion inspections where 12 months have passed since the previous inspection.
