Building Regulations in Richmond fall under North Yorkshire Council. Because Richmond is in the former Richmondshire district, building control is delivered through the North Yorkshire Building Control Partnership. You can submit applications through that partnership, or use a private registered building control approver if your project is not higher-risk. You can contact the council at buildingcontrol@northyorks.gov.uk or visit northyorks.gov.uk for further detail.
Common questions
Do I need a structural engineer to remove a load-bearing wall in Richmond?
There is no legal requirement naming a structural engineer specifically, but the Planning Portal advises that a structural engineer or surveyor can determine whether a wall is load-bearing, design the beam for the loads, and that it is sensible to speak to one before starting any work. Removing a load-bearing wall usually requires building control approval, though building control decides what applies to your particular project.
How do I apply for building control approval in Richmond?
Richmond is in the former Richmondshire district, so applications go through the North Yorkshire Building Control Partnership. There are two main routes: full plans, where a decision is expected within five weeks (or two months with your consent), and a building notice, which suits smaller projects and allows work to start two days after submission but involves no formal approval of plans. You can also use a private registered building control approver for work that is not higher-risk.
How do I check a structural engineer in Richmond 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. Bear in mind that the four firms on this directory who state chartered status are reporting that themselves and it has not been independently verified by this site.
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 neighbour at least two months' written notice before the planned start date. For a new wall on the boundary line or excavation near a neighbouring building, at least one month's notice is required. These are legal obligations under the Act, separate from any building control or planning requirements.
