Applications under this Act may need to be submitted for certain types of work. These applications are usually required in addition to the normal Building Regulation application. The relevant sections of the Act are listed below. Section 20 dealt with fire safety in tall or large cube buildings and Section 21 with the uniting of buildings.
The effect of this repeal is that applications for consent are no longer necessary and that any conditions imposed in previous consents cease to have effect from 9 January If you intend to remove fire safety provisions that were installed into a building because of its Section 20 or Section 21 status, it is advisable to discuss the proposed removal with the local fire authority, as there may be implications under the Regulatory Reform Order.
Section 30 applications are used when the erection or retention of certain temporary buildings and structures that are not covered by the Building Regulations The person must have served the local community or must have been born or lived in the area. In such cases, the family or estate administrators must be contacted for approval.

When naming a new street there will be a 30 day consultation period with the ward councillors and the emergency services. For changes to an existing street name, we will also consult with the general public.
Naming a building It is the council policy to number properties wherever possible. However, blocks of flats and commercial offices may be assigned a name. When a building name is required, we will need a list of at least 3 choices, preferably with a local historical connection. All new building names should end with one of the following suffixes: House [for residential or commercial buildings] Court [for residential or commercial buildings] Boulevard [for high block residential buildings only] Tower [for high block residential or commercial buildings only] Not acceptable building prefixes include: The A New building names should not duplicate any existing building name or similar name already in use in a borough or neighbouring boroughs.
A variation in the suffix, for example, 'Court, 'Tower' or 'House', would not be accepted as sufficient reason to duplicate a name. Sutton and Kingston would be examples of names that would not be considered acceptable, as would be Martin House if Martin Court was already in use. Building names should not be difficult to pronounce or awkward to spell. Churchill House and Birchill House. Avoid names open to misinterpretation like Tennis Court and Steven Boulevard.

Numbering of buildings on streets A new street should be numbered with even numbers on one side and odd numbers on the other, with the exception that for a cul-de-sac consecutive numbering in a clockwise direction is preferred. Private garages and similar buildings used for housing cars, should not be numbered.
In the interest of equality and diversity, no numbers will be omitted from a numbering sequence. Buildings including those on corner sites are to be numbered according to the street in which the main entrance is located. When there is infill development, for example, a large old house between two other houses is demolished and replaced by four smaller houses, it is not always possible to use the next number in a sequence.
In these cases each new house shall be given the number of the old house with either A; B; C or D, or a terrace name applied. Where multiple flats are accessed from a single entrance they will be numbered in the following form: flat number, building number, street.
For example Flat 2, 21 Smith Street and not 21B Smith Street, which might already be used by an adjoining infill building or be required later on.
For larger developments the buildings will be named. All internal flat numbers should start with flat 1 at the lowest unit of the building and number upwards in a clockwise direction. Property owners have a legal duty to display their number prominently where they can be easily read from the public highway during the day and especially at night.
