ABSTRACT
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS 1.1 Introduction In the United Kingdom, the construction of the shell of a swimming pool (without ancillary buildings such as plant house, changing rooms etc.) is unlikely to require a Building Permit under the Building Regulations, but planning permission may be required. It is therefore advisable for any one wishing to build a swimming pool to consult their Local Authority, and also the water supply company as there may be special requirements, such as metering of the supply, restriction on the amount of water used etc.
