Building Regulations in Shepton Mallet are handled by Somerset Building Control, a local authority partnership working for Somerset Council across the former Mendip and neighbouring districts. You can submit a Full Plans application, a Building Notice or a Regularisation application through the Somerset Building Control online portal at buildingcontrol.somerset.gov.uk. Full Plans applications are usually checked within 15 working days. For smaller domestic work a Building Notice can be used instead, though it carries no formal approval of plans. You can also use a private registered building control approver, who must now be registered with the Building Safety Regulator.
Common questions
Do I need a structural engineer to remove a load-bearing wall in Shepton Mallet?
You are not automatically required by law 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 suitable beam for the loads involved. It also advises speaking to one before starting any work. Removing a load-bearing wall usually needs building control approval, though building control decides what is required in each case.
How do I apply for building control approval in Shepton Mallet?
You apply through the Somerset Building Control online portal, which accepts Full Plans, Building Notice and Regularisation applications. Full Plans is the most thorough route, with a decision expected within five weeks or two months with your consent. A Building Notice suits smaller projects only; work can start two days after submission but there is no formal approval of plans. Contact Somerset Building Control at buildingcontrol@somerset.gov.uk or 0300 303 7790.
How do I check a structural engineer in Shepton Mallet 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 and the Institution of Civil Engineers also publish searchable member directories. Eleven of the 27 firms listed in the directory for Shepton Mallet state they hold chartered status, but that has not been independently verified, so it is worth checking directly through these official registers.
Do I need to tell my neighbours before structural work on a shared wall?
Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, if work affects a party wall you must give your neighbours at least two months' notice before the planned start date. For a new wall on the boundary line or excavation near a neighbour's building, at least one month's notice is required. This is a legal obligation separate from building control approval and applies regardless of whether planning permission is needed.
