submit an application for building control approval in relation to the work to the building control authority (a “building control approval application for work to existing HRB”) under regulation 12 (building control approval applications for work to existing HRB),
be granted building control approval for the work,
fulfil those requirements, if any, which under the building control approval must be fulfilled before the work is started, and
