Email building.control@colchester.gov.uk if you think building work is being carried out without the required building control application or inspections.

Include:

  • the address of the work
  • a description of what is happening
  • when the work started
  • photographs, where it is safe and lawful to take them
  • your contact details

If the work presents an immediate danger, read how to report a dangerous structure.

If you own the building and unauthorised work has already been completed, you may need to make a Regularisation application.
