Building Control Information

Guildford Borough Council Building Control applications are dealt with under separate legislation, but are still subject to the same FOI, EIR and GDPR legislation.

There is no legal requirement to display information about Building Control applications on the internet, but because people may wish to check that work is being done to the relevant building regulations, the law does allow us to display details of applications.

In order to protect privacy, Guildford Borough Council will only make available summary information about the application and its progress. We will not publish drawings and plans.

If you believe there is information about a particular project to which you are entitled under the FOIA or EIR, you should submit the appropriate request to us for consideration.
