Building Control Charges from 1 January 2010
You may have heard in the press recently about the increase in VAT back to the old rate of 17.5% as of 1 January 2010. This VAT increase means we have revised our figures on our fee sheet.
The scheme may be inspected between 08.30 and 17.15, Monday to Friday at building control MK, Civic Offices, 1 Saxon Gate East, Milton Keynes MK9 3EJ

Petroleum Licensing
It is the statutory responsibility for Local or Fire Authorities to satisfy themselves that the storage of petrol is maintained in a safe manner and that such storage is licensed if more than 14 litres (3 gallons) is kept. In Milton Keynes, the Building Control department currently undertakes these responsibilities. See further information about petroleum licensing.
