Welcome to the East Sussex Building Control Partnership

East Sussex Building Control is a Partnership organisation of four local authorities, covering Eastbourne and Hastings Boroughs, and Rother and Wealden Districts.

By providing a shared service over multiple authorities, customers working across the region can utilise a single point of contact for Building Regulations queries and applications, and expect a greater degree of consistency in service.

We aim to work with and alongside property owners, architects, engineers, builders and developers to ensure compliance with the Building Regulations.

Notice of completion by a person carrying out building work (England)

 A person who is required by Regulation 12 to give a building notice or an application for building control approval with full plans for carrying out building work shall, not more than five days after that work has been completed, give the local authority a notice which complies with Regulation 16 paragraph (4A) as set out below.

Requirements of dutyholders and their competence can be found in Part 2A of the Building Regulations 2010 (as amended).

The document Notice of Completion by a person carrying out building work (England) must be provided before any completion certificate will be issued.
