The Building Regulations recognize that some buildings pose little risk to public health and safety and these buildings have therefore been exempted from the requirements of the Building Regulations. The following is a brief list of buildings and work which are exempt from the Building Regulations but for comprehensive advise on exemptions please contact any of the Building Control staff: - Buildings controlled under other legislation such as ancient monuments;
- Detached buildings not frequented by people such as those used solely for housing plant and machinery;
- Most greenhouses and agricultural buildings - these buildings are not exempt if used for retail, packing or exhibiting purposes;
- Temporary buildings erected for not more than 28 days;
- Site huts and other similar ancillary buildings which contain no sleeping accommodation;
- Small detached buildings or extensions - garage, shed, summerhouse, conservatory, porch and covered way;
- Electrical work - some electrical work is exempt but check with Building Control or a person registered with an electrical self-certification scheme.
