Builders rush to beat Part L

Reports are that there had been a rush with house builders in putting in Building Regulations applications  to avoid the more stringent Part L of the Approved Documents including many not having been approved by Planning.

Many builders have registered their intention to start work on a site before Part L 2010 which took effect on the  1st October and have therefore gained an extra year before they need to build to the upgraded greener regulations.

Once work has started, the entire scheme will be allowed to comply with Part L 2006, regardless of how long it takes to complete.
