a) application for a Building Warrant for the construction
of a building or the provision of services, fittings and

of the fee in table of fees above. |

only, or for conversion only |
Fee is £125 |

Discounts
A Building Warrant fee is discounted, when a Building Warrant
application is registered, where Certificates from Approved
Certifiers of Design are presented. Where one or more such
Certificates are presented with a Building Warrant application,
by – 10% for each Certificate that covers the whole
of any section of the functional standards, and 1% for each
Certificate covering a single item in any such section,
up to a maximum of 5% for any one section; all subject to
a maximum discount of 60% of the warrant fee.
Note that the discounts apply where a late application for
Building Warrant is made. The discount is applied to the
whole fee. Discounts also apply to the stages in a staged
warrant where the discount is on the fee for the amendment
of a Building Warrant (which in staged warrants should take
account of the increased value of the work). |
| F9 |
Refunds
A refund of the original Building Warrant fee (before
any discounting) is made where one or more Certificates
from an Approved Certifier of Construction are presented,
as below
where one or more such Certificates are submitted with a
Completion Certificate, by - 1% for each Certificate covering
a defined trade or installation, up to a maximum of 20%,
but subject to a minimum refund of £20.
Note that a refund is only made where a Council has been
informed in writing of the intention to use the approved
Certifier of Construction in relation to any Certificate.
This precludes refunds where a late submission of Completion
Certificate is made. However, a Certificate from an Approved
Certifier of Design may accompany a submission of a Completion
Certificate without Building Warrant, and a discount of
the fee is allowed for as described in F8. |
| F10 |
Fee Exemption for
Disabled Persons
The Fee Regulations state that no fee shall be payable where
the purpose of the work to which the application relates
is to alter or extend a dwelling so that it is made suitable
as a dwelling for a disabled person
The fee is set at zero for works to alter or extend the
existing dwelling occupied by a disabled person provided
the works are solely for the benefit of the disabled person.
The relief therefore is not for disabled people in general,
it relates specifically to works to provide facilities for
disabled people as defined in the building standards. “Disabled
person" means a person with a physical, hearing or
sight impairment, which affects that person's mobility or
use of buildings.
