Building Control

The primary function of Building Control is to process and determine applications and inspect building works in accordance with the requirements of Land Planning and Development Law and Building Regulations.

What we do:

• Revision of the Regulations to follow best practice in building in accordance with the social, economic and energy use objectives of the States
• The processing of Building Regulation applications
• Carrying out of site inspections in accordance with the Guernsey Building Regulations
• Providing advice to applicants and the general public
• Investigating and taking enforcement action in relation to contraventions of the Building Regulations and Land Planning and Development (Guernsey) Law 2005

Part of our function involves undertaking regular inspections and reporting to the Royal Court on the continued adequacy and operation of premises licensed as Salle Publiques (public buildings) and advice to Constables on dangerous structures and the installation of steam boilers/bread ovens.
