Building Regulations Local Authority Control | Approved Inspectors Control | Do Regulations Apply? Building regulations were introduced to ensure the Health and Safety of people in and around all types of building. They are not the same as planning permission. Grouped into thirteen individual aspects of 'building work', building regulations cover a range of subjects - from the structure of a building, its fire safety and energy saving qualities, to hygiene and access matters. There are two types of building control service available, Local Authority Control and Approved Inspectors Control. Both carry a charge, but advice may be available before work starts.
