Welcome to the East Sussex Building Control Partnership

East Sussex Building Control is a Partnership organisation of four local authorities, covering Eastbourne and Hastings Boroughs, and Rother and Wealden Districts.

By providing a shared service over multiple authorities, customers working across the region can utilise a single point of contact for Building Regulations queries and applications, and expect a greater degree of consistency in service.

We aim to work with and alongside property owners, architects, engineers, builders and developers to ensure compliance with the Building Regulations.
