Building control ensures that building work is carried out to a high standard in the interests of the health, safety and welfare of the occupiers, users and the public at large
Through planning and building control we can control the way the built environment and associated services contribute to the quality of life of the city’s residents, workers and visitors.
We also make sure that proposals for new residential and commercial developments contribute to the city’s architecture while respecting our historic buildings and monuments, protecting our heritage and improving our landscape.
