# The Building (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2024, Regulation 3: Transitional provision


(1) The amendments made by regulation 2 do not apply in relation to building work on a particular building where a building notice, an initial notice, or an application for building control approval with full plans, has been given to the relevant authority in respect of that building before 1st October 2024 and either the building work to which it relates is sufficiently progressed before that day or is sufficiently progressed within the period of 6 months beginning on that day.
(2) For the purpose of this transitional provision, building work is to be regarded as ‘sufficiently progressed’—
(a) where the building work consists of the construction of a building, when the pouring of concrete for the permanent placement of the trench, pad or raft foundations has started, or the permanent placement of piling has started,
(b) where the building work consists of work to an existing building, when that work has started, or
(c) where the building work consists of a material change of use of a building, when work to effect that change of use has started.
(3) In this regulation, “application for building control approval with full plans”, “building notice”, “initial notice” and “relevant authority” have the meanings given in regulation 2(1) of the Building Regulations 2010.
