What are statutory approvals?
A4 – “Statutory approvals” is an expression which usually refers to the need to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval for your proposed work. Your Architectural Technologist can advise you if those, or other, approvals are required for your project. Where appropriate they will prepare the relevant plans and applications on your behalf as part of the design services. Other consents or actions may also be required by law, depending on your type of project. Examples are the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994/2006, and the Party Wall etc Act 1996.
