Building Regulations Overview

Published on 15 December 2021, the new Building Regulations will come into effect from 15 June 2022 and will have an impact on all sectors and markets.

Arrangements are in place for the six-month transitional period before the new regulations come into force, which mean that if full plans, initial or building notices for building works are submitted to a local authority before 15 June 2022, then as long as the building work commences by 15. June 2023, work on that individual building is permitted to continue under the previous standards.

• Approved Document L, volume 1: dwellings
