Regulation 4 Designation of collecting authorities
Subject to paragraph (2), the local authorityf1 for the area in which a building or proposed building to which a building control application relates is or is to be situated is designated as the person to whom the building safety levy in relation to such an application is to be paid.
If a building or proposed building to which a building control application relates is or is to be situated in the areas of more than one local authority, the local authority in whose area the greater part of the building is or is to be situated is designated, in respect of the whole of the building, as the person to whom the building safety levy in relation to such a building is to be paid.
If—
the application referred to in paragraph (1) is a higher-risk building application, and
the building work to which the application relates is to be carried out in the areas of more than one local authority,
then any reference in these Regulations (except in paragraphs (1) and (2)) to that application as it applies in relation to a collecting authority is to be treated as a reference to the part of the application in relation to which the authority is designated under this regulation.
For the purposes of these Regulations, a “collecting authority” is a local authority designated under paragraph (1) or (2).
