Summary
This Divisional letter accompanies Circular 03/2008 and announces the Building (Amendment) Regulations 2008 (SI 2008/671) and amendments made to the Building Regulations 2000.
The regulations were made on 10 March and laid in Parliament on the 13 March 2007. These Amendment Regulations will come into force on 6 April 2008.
The principal amendment made by the Amendment Regulations is to introduce a new regulation 22A into the Building Regulations 2000 which increase the time limits for prosecution of breaches of the Building Regulations from six months to two years, within which local authorities may bring prosecutions for breaches of certain specified climate change related building regulations provisions, including those set out in Part L of the Building Regulations.
The Amendment Regulations also amend Schedule 2A of the Building Regulations 2000 with effect from 6 April 2008 to reflect the change of ownership of the BRE Certification Limited Part P competent person self-certification scheme.
