2.—(1) This paragraph applies where, in relation to work to a particular building, full plans were deposited with a local authority before 1st October 2023 and in accordance with any provision of Part 1 of the 1984 Act or a local enactment the local authority has rejected those plans on or after that date (“the rejection date”).
(2) Where this paragraph applies then with effect from the rejection date the regulator, and not the local authority for the area, is the building control authority in relation to the higher-risk building and accordingly—
(a)the duties and functions of the regulator under section 91 of the 1984 Act apply in relation to the higher-risk building or any proposed higher-risk building;
(b)Parts 2 to 6 of these Regulations apply to any HRB work or work to existing HRB from the rejection date with the modifications provided in this paragraph except that regulation 47 (regularisation) does not apply in relation to any work carried out before the rejection date and accordingly any reference to a regularisation certificate in Parts 2 to 6 of these Regulations is to be ignored, and
(c)the 2010 Regulations, to the extent they apply to higher-risk buildings, apply to any of the work from the rejection date.
(3) Within 10 working days of the rejection date the person intending to carry out the work must give a notice to the regulator setting out—
(a)the name, address, telephone number and (if available) email address of the person intending to carry out the work;
(b)details of the work to be carried out;
(c)details of any existing building on the site, including the height of any existing building, the number of storeys contained in it and the use of each storey (regulations 5 and 6 of the Higher-Risk Buildings (Descriptions and Supplementary Provisions) Regulations 2023(1) have effect in determining the height and the number of storeys in a building);
(d)details of the intended use of the higher-risk building, including the intended use of each storey;
(e)the height of the higher-risk building as determined in accordance with regulation 5 of the Higher-Risk Buildings (Descriptions and Supplementary Provisions) Regulations 2023;
(f)the number of storeys in the higher-risk building as determined in accordance with regulation 6 of the Higher-Risk Buildings (Descriptions and Supplementary Provisions) Regulations 2023;
(g)where the work is HRB work or is work to existing HRB which changes the number of residential or commercial units in the building, the proposed number of flats, number of residential rooms and number of commercial units to be contained in the higher-risk building;
(h)details of the work which has been carried out together with a summary of the inspections undertaken by the local authority in relation to the work.
(4) Where any work was carried out before the rejection date the person who carried out the work or the owner must comply with any notice from the regulator requiring them within a reasonable time to cut into, lay open or pull down so much of the work as prevents the regulator from ascertaining whether the work contravenes any requirement of the building regulations.
(5) Where any work was carried out before the rejection date (“the HRB project”) and on or after that date a building control approval application for HRB work or a building control approval application for work to existing HRB is submitted to the regulator in respect of the HRB project, then in addition to the requirements of regulation 4 the person who carried out the work must provide the regulator with such plans as are necessary to show the work already carried out complies with all applicable requirements of the building regulations.
