Standard Conditions / Guidance Notes

You will get a visit from one of the officers to see how you will comply with the law and standard conditions. If everything is ok, you will be given a registration certificate. You will then be expected to comply with the standard conditions.  

It is an offence if you do any of these activities without being and /or, do not comply with the standard conditions. 

If you are thinking of changing the use of the premises or building additional facilities, you may need approval under the Town and Country Planning Acts and/or Building Regulations. If that is the case, you will need to contact Planning or Building Control (where?) for that advice.
