Submit a building notice
You can submit a building notice for internal alterations, especially if they are being carried out by experienced designers and builders.
A building notice is more suitable for minor works including:
- internal alterations, for example creating a door opening
For further information, please email building.control@stockton.gov.uk
What happens after you submit a building notice
Your building notice is valid for 3 years from the date that we tell you that we tell you that your notice is valid.
Once you have submitted your building notice, you need to keep us informed when you start work and as you progress so that we can check your work complies with the Building Regulations and provide a Completion Certificate.
