A new building control application service is coming – make sure you’re prepared 

We are incredibly excited to announce that on April 29 this year, we are launching an updated version of our building control application service! 

For the first time, you will be able to submit planning and building control applications via one unified portal, with a single sign-on.  

As we prepare for the launch of the new Building Control Portal, there are some key time frames we’d like to share:

From 17:00 on 25 April, you will no longer be able to create or submit building control applications on the current building control website. However, you will still be able to view your applications.

If you have any draft applications on the current building control service that you wish to submit, please ensure you submit them by 17:00 on 25 April, as they will not be transferred to the new Building Control Portal.

Alternatively, you can create these applications again on the new Building Control Portal when it launches.

The new Building Control Portal launches on 29 April.

Please note – your current building control log in details won’t work on the new system. Instead, because we are moving over to a single sign-on process, you will need to use your Planning Portal account, or create an account if you do not already have one, to be able to log into the updated system.  

Building control bodies and ICT suppliers:

Please download any outstanding building control applications on the current building control service by 18:00 on 26 April, after this point you will only be able to view and manually download applications.

We know the new service will simplify and streamline the building control application process for all.
