That old chestnut again!
My customer for the end of the week happens to be a councillor on the Planning Committee for her local authority. When she asked her BC whether she need BC or not they told her she had to pay £86 for it and have a letter from a structural engineer to confirm the roof was ok. It wasn't a problem for us because we always do structural surveys anyway and it helped us to stand out against others who don't do that.
Can someone help me with why BC need to be involved? I think that if the roof needs more than 15% alteration that it has to go through BC but why are they charging £86 for something that has been passed by a structural engineer???
