CHANGES have been made to how Building Control is handled by Malvern Hills District Council, Worcester City Council and Wychavon District Council.
In April all three partners agreed to establish a shared Building Control service. The aim was to improve the level of service offered to customers and make it easier for them to get in touch. It is also hoped it will ensure greater consistency of interpretation of building regulations.
Key changes, that will come into effect on August 3, will be; a single telephone and fax number for Building Control services (01684 862223, Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm, or fax on 01684 862159); all post will be sent to the Council House, Avenue Road, Malvern, WR14 3AF; applicants can book to see a surveyor by calling 01684 862223; inspection requests can be made by phone, email, or online and must be no later than 4pm on the day before the inspection and that payments made by cheque should be payable to the local authority where the proposed work address is located.
