There are transitional provisions in place for the change over to the new approved documents these will be as follows:-
Where an application has been submitted
and building work commenced on site before April 6th 2014 then the
provisions of Part L will not apply and;
Where an application is submitted before 6th
April 2014 then the provisions of Part L will not apply, as long as work
commences on site before 6th April 2015.
Please contact us for further information
regarding the above or if you would like us to proceed with submitting an
application on your behalf to either an approved inspector (we usually use BBS
Building Control) or the local authority.
