Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 20 May 2019 to Question 254216 on Business Premises: Change of Use, how many breaches of building regulations resulted in enforcement actions for houses converted under permitted development rights.

The Department does not collect information about enforcement activity. Compliance with Building Regulations’ requirements will be checked by the relevant building control body. They may require changes to the building work to be made by the person responsible for the work, to ensure compliance without the need for formal enforcement action.
