21st October 1985
Under the Building Act 1984 the responsibility for ensuring compliance with building regulations may, at the option of the person intending to carry out the work, be given to an approved inspector instead of the local authorities. The procedure is dealt with in the Building (Approved Inspectors etc.) Regulations 1985 (S.I. 1985/1066) which come into full operation on 11th November 1985.
This order brings section 50(2) and (3) into force on the same date to enable disagreements with approved inspectors as to whether plans of proposed work comply with building regulations to be determined by the Secretary of State.
