Past Building Regulation Application Details
“Basic Building Regulation application details can be found at View building regulation applications | Bradford Council”
Please note only basic information is given as, unlike planning applications, building control information is not on public deposit.
Copies of building regulation application information such as plans and approvals etc. are only available to building owners or their appointed agents and at the discretion of the local authority. For the purposes of Freedom of Information, application information is considered to have a reasonable expectation of confidentiality when submitted and thus we consider it to be exempt from this legislation. Please note that in line with Government guidance, Building Regulations application information need only be retained for 15 years. We cannot guarantee that information older than this will be available.

Building Control
The Building Control information provided on this public access facility accords with the requirements of the above Regulations. Submitted documents to support building regulations applications are considered confidential under the terms of Section 9 of the above Regulations and are therefore unavailable to view using this portal. Building Regulations Approvals, Rejections or Acceptances are made having regard to the performance requirements of the Building Act 1984 and Building Regulations 2010 as amended and the information provided by the applicant as part of their application. The decisions made, relevant dates and site addresses are however available using the public access portal on this website.
Viewing historical files
Only limited details for building applications submitted between 1 January 1983 and 31 December 1994 are available on the online building control system.
Please note that applications from this period have an alternative historical reference number. This is the original reference number for these applications and can be used to locate the relevant record on the online system.
Below is an example:
Online Building Control System Reference No: 94/00102/BN7
Historical Reference No: 94/7/00020
If you wish to obtain details of a building regulations application that are not available online please submit a 'Building Control Research Request' in writing.

There is a fee of £82 (including VAT) for this service.
