ABSTRACT
When the applicant has taken any such steps required by the local authority, the local authority will notify the applicant:
● if no work is required to secure compliance with the relevant requirements;
2.23.1 What happens if I do work without approval? The local authority has a general duty to see that all building work complies with the Regulations – except where it is formally under the control of an approved inspector. Where a local authority is controlling the work and finds after its completion that it does not comply, then the local authority may require you to alter or remove it. If you fail to do this the local authority may serve a notice requiring you to do so and you will be liable for the costs.
