Charges and application notes
* Where a 'below ground level extension' is to be formed in conjunction with an 'above ground level extension', the below ground level extension fee will be reduced by 50% and then combined with the appropriate above ground level extension fee.
** Where additional 'domestic alterations' are to be undertaken in conjunction with other works listed elsewhere within Table A, the appropriate 'domestic alterations' fee will be reduced by 50% and then combined with the appropriate fee listed elsewhere within Table A.
*** Where 'other domestic works' (based on the cost of works) are to be undertaken in conjunction with works listed elsewhere within Table A, the appropriate 'other domestic works' fee will be reduced by 50% and then combined with the appropriate fee listed elsewhere within Table A.
Where more than one ‘above ground level extension’ is being constructed concurrently (excluding loft conversions), the total floor areas may be combined for the determination of Building Control charges. Charges are inclusive of the means of access and any other work necessary as a direct consequence of the extension/conversion.
When calculating a fee for 'other domestic works', the cost of work should exclude VAT
