Our Building Control services are currently severely restricted

This means that the processing of applications, inspection visits and related paperwork is taking much longer than expected. We request that all communications, including requests for inspections, are emailed to building.control@dudley.gov.uk. In your email please include the application reference number, the site address, a phone number to contact you, and the reason for the site visit. Without this information, we won't be able to answer your questions or schedule an inspection.

For new Building Control applications, please email building.control@dudley.gov.uk. Alternatively you may use provision from an Approved Inspector. If you choose to apply through us, you are accepting that the regulation timelines for registering your application, scheduling inspections, and getting paperwork and certificates may not be achieved.

We're sorry for the inconvenience. We are working to fix these issues as quickly as we can

In addition to the Local Development Framework, which sets policy to guide development within the Dudley Borough, we also publish planning guidance notes and supplementary planning guidance to address specific planning issues.

These will be replaced by supplementary planning documents (SPDs) within the Local Development Framework. Currently a number of these documents are subject to consultation.

At present these documents include greater information on the way specific policies of the Development Plan will be implemented as well as development / planning briefs for specific sites.

Planning Enquiry

If you require an opinion as to whether you need planning permission from the Council (i.e. express planning consent) for a proposed house extension or outbuilding, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page.

It is suggested that you read the appropriate guidance notes before contacting us as this may give you the information you require.
