Building Regulations for Glastonbury are handled by Somerset Building Control, a local authority partnership working on behalf of Somerset Council across the former Mendip, Sedgemoor, Taunton and West, and South Somerset districts. You can apply online through the Somerset Building Control portal at buildingcontrol.somerset.gov.uk, which accepts Full Plans, Building Notice and Regularisation applications. For smaller domestic work, a Building Notice is an option. You can also use a private registered building control approver instead of the council service. Contact the team at buildingcontrol@somerset.gov.uk or 0300 303 7790.
Common questions
Do I need a structural engineer to remove a load-bearing wall in Glastonbury?
There is no strict legal requirement to hire a structural engineer, but the Planning Portal advises that a structural engineer or surveyor can determine whether a wall is load-bearing and design a beam for the loads involved. It also advises speaking to one before starting any work. Removing a load-bearing wall usually involves building control, and building control decides whether your proposals meet the Building Regulations. Getting proper calculations beforehand is strongly advisable.
How do I apply for building control approval in Glastonbury?
You can apply online through the Somerset Building Control portal, which accepts Full Plans, Building Notice and Regularisation applications. Full Plans is the more thorough route, with a decision usually expected within five weeks, or two months with your consent. A Building Notice is only suited to smaller projects and work can begin two days after submission, but there are no formally approved plans. Alternatively, you can use a private registered building control approver, who must be registered with the Building Safety Regulator.
How do I check a structural engineer in Glastonbury is chartered?
You can use the Engineering Council's RegCheck tool to confirm whether an engineer's CEng or IEng registration is currently active. The Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) also publish searchable member directories. Three of the fourteen firms listed for Glastonbury on this directory state they hold chartered status, though this has not been independently verified. Checking directly with the relevant registration body is the most reliable approach.
Do I need to tell my neighbours before structural work on a shared wall?
Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, you must give your neighbour notice before carrying out work to a party wall. Notice must be given at least two months before the planned start date. If you intend to build a new wall on the boundary line or carry out excavation near a neighbouring building, at least one month's notice is required. Failing to give proper notice can complicate matters significantly, so it is worth checking your obligations before work begins.
