Raising standards to protect homeowners
Approved Documents L, F & J, 2010 now published
The 2010 versions of Part L, F & J have been published, effective from 01 October.
The amendments do not apply to:
- Sites where work has already started, prior to 01 October 2010, or
- Sites where an Initial Notice has been issued, prior to 01 October 2010, providing work starts on site before 01 October 2011.
The transitional arrangements mean you will not need to obtain a Plans Certificate for a scheme prior to 01 October 2010, just ensure an Initial Notice is served.
A more detailed review of the main changes and implications for designers and builders may be found on our new TechZone here.
