To publish a factual update note alongside the
Climate Change, Sustainable Design, Construction and Energy
Supplementary Planning Document following a change to the Building
Regulations on June 15 2022.
The Supplementary Planning Document asks
applicants for planning permission to submit building data that is
produced as part of the Building Control process as set out in the
Building Regulations. Changes to the building regulations mean that
some of that information is no longer needed. The note is needed to
ensure that planning applicants stop producing and submitting the
unnecessary data, reducing the burden for applicants and planning
decision makers.
A full review of the Supplementary Planning
Document. This option was rejected at this time as we need to see
how well the change in approach operates in planning decisions
before taking the SPD through the lengthy statutory process that is
necessary to amend it.
