A couple of months ago someone on here gave a url from government to
Building Regs on local councils which instructed them to for
certification out of their fees. Unfortunately I did not keep a copy
and its not on my news server!

Can someone give me the url as I have some friends who are very
interested in this document?

Thanks

================================
The instruction (sent to all Councils) was from 'ODPM' ('Office of the
Deputy Prime Minister') which has now changed to:

http://www.communities.gov.uk/ which is ruled by that Kelly woman.

As far as I can remember the ruling is that any *testing* required / done
either by an external contractor or by a member of their own staff must
be paid by the Council out of the Application fee - i.e. no separate fee
for testing.

I'm going to be bringing this to the BCO's attention on a job shortly.
Should be fun, he's already mentioned 3 times the need for me to make
sure the electrician provides a certificate.

The government have reissued Part P and it now says this
explicitly in Part P itself.

Thanks for that, I have now found the original document which is in fact
the regulation, para 1.26 spells it out!

I just mentioned the para to my BCO when he seemed to suggest I paid and
"Hey Presto" he said "Oh you know about 1.26, its costing us a lot of
money!", I expect their fees will rise even more sharply next year to
cover the costs.

Sounds like it! If you're mug enough to pay, they'll let you - but if you
challenge them, *they* have to pay.

Does Section 1.26 say that they have to point out your rights to you?
