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

Listed Building Consent

A listed building is a building of "Special Architectural or Historic Interest". The official listing is compiled and managed by English Heritage and is frequently reviewed and changed.

You will need to get listed building consent from the council before carrying out any building works that affect the character of a listed building. This includes internal and external works, structures touching the listed building and separate buildings within its curtilage.

If you are the owner of a listed building you are responsible for looking after it. The council can insist that owners of listed buildings carry out any works to preserve the building. Further support and advice for the owners of listed buildings is available from English Heritage.

Any work that would affect the character of a Statutory Listed Building needs prior consent. This includes internal work as well as external and any works that involve alteration or demolition. The requirement for Listed Building Consent is in addition to any requirement for planning permission.
