Was the unauthorised building work before the 11 November 1985? Any building work carried out before 11 November 1985 is not eligible to be regularised. |

Is the building work in relation to higher-risk building work? A regularisation certificate application given to the local authority is not appropriate in these circumstances. Regularisation certificate applications for building work to higher-risk buildings can be made. |

Has any part of the work described in an initial notice been carried out and the initial notice has ceased to be in force? If so, Regulation 19 of the Building (Approved Inspectors etc) Regulations 2010 (local authority powers in relation to partly completed work) applies. Compliance should be with the requirements of that regulation and a building regularisation certificate application is not appropriate. |

If the response to all the questions above is 'no' then an application for a regularisation certificate is appropriate for the proposed work. Where the response is 'yes' for row 2, an application should be made to the Building Safety Regulator. Where the response is 'yes' to any other row, the application for a regularisation certificate is not appropriate.
