Making an online building control application

Once the building control body has received your application successfully you will receive a confirmation email from Planning Portal. This email will include a unique reference number which should be quoted in all correspondence with the building control body. Your reference number is also available from the ‘Overview’ tab of your building control application, and the ‘Applications’ page.

Note: The email from Planning Portal does not constitute the formal acceptance of your electronic submission by the building control body.

Once the building control body has received your application, supporting documents and payment, it will register and validate it within its normal workflow processes and timescales. If the building control body needs more information or has any queries they will contact you directly.

For further information on the progress of your online application please contact your building control body quoting your reference number.
