The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) issued a consultation in January 2012, seeking views on proposals for changes to technical and procedural aspects of the Building Regulations to ensure that they remain proportionate and fit-for-purpose. There was a particular focus on reducing the regulatory burden and delivering better levels of compliance. One result of the summary of responses to the consultation has been the changes to Part P, as shown in detail in other parts of this VoltiTECH. It is useful, though, to understand the electrical industry’s response to the proposals, which – in addition to Part P – also included Parts A, B, C, K, M and N, and well as Part L (Conservation of fuel and power) and the building control system. You can take a look at them in this article:
