Reporting Unauthorised Building Works

If you suspect that someone has been, or is still carrying out unauthorised building works, you can report them to us to investigate.

Any reports made to our team are dealt with on a confidential basis, and are taken seriously. We will attempt to keep you updated on progress of the investigation.

Reporting non-compliant building works
