Changes To Part L

[Johnny Jekyll]

We gained planning permission in May 2020 and have already submitted our SAP Report to Building Control. We are currently working through drawings etc with them.

With the new 2020 changes to Part L (they seem to be delayed), considering we have already started, will we still adhere to the existing standards (which we will pass) , or need to adjust to the new standards (which would be unfair as we've started and may make it more difficult to pass)?

Many thanks.

Have you submitted your building regulations application ..? Have the council accepted the application and started the plan review ..?

 

If so, the building regulations in place at the date of acceptance are those that refer to your build irrespective of how long it takes to complete.

Thanks Peter, yes we are through planning, and well into building control now (we have already laid the slab). I was thinking it would be at date of acceptance, just wanted a second informed opinion such as yours. Thanks again.
