Longer time limits for prosecution of breaches of Building Regulations [electronic resource] consultation
Longer time limits for prosecution of breaches of Building Regulations consultation [electronic resource]
- London DCLG 2007
Invites views on proposals to extend the time limits during which local authorities can bring a prosecution for breaches of Building Regulations requirements. Recommends that the current limit of six months be extended to two years. This should make enforcement more effective, as defective construction work is not always immediately obvious. The proposals aim to act as a deterrent to a minority of cowboy builders and should not create extra burdens for fully compliant businesses. Consultation closes on 23 October 2007.
