The Department set out its views on the current enforcement provisions for building regulations along with proposals for changes which would make the arrangements more effective in a consultation document, “2012 consultation on changes to the Building Regulations in England: Section four—the building control system”, which is available at:

http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/brconsultationsection4

The consultation closed on 27 April 2012 and the Department is currently preparing a summary and analysis of the responses which will be published later in the year. Decisions on how to take the proposed changes forward will be made in the light of the responses received.
