Building Control
If you talk to us about your designs at an early stage, you may
avoid costly alterations later. Our surveyors have the technical
expertise and local knowledge to help you to overcome any
Building Control problems.
We can also help to co-ordinate your applications with other
Local Authority services including
- Planning (Development Control)
- Cumbria Highways
- Main drainage
- Environmental Health
- The Fire Authority
We provide the best possible Building Control Service for
Architects, Builders and Developers and ensure that building work
continues to satisfy National Building Regulations. As we handle
about 1,400 Building Control submissions each year, we split the
district into two sections, with one team dedicated to each
area.
We are also responsible for
- dealing with dangerous buildings and structures
- giving advice and permission for demolition works
- safety at sports grounds
- access for disabled persons
- Carlisle Shopmobility
- street naming and numbering.
