Search tips
You can use the simple, advanced, or map search options to look up an address, description, or case number.
- The best method: Searching by the exact case number is the easiest way to find a single record.
- Using the “%” wildcard: If you only know part of the information, type a % symbol before or after your text. For example, typing %CT9% in the postcode box will find any address where the postcode contains CT9.
- Result limits: The system will only show a maximum of 100 results. The more detail you provide, the easier it will be to find what you need.
- Searching by date: You can search using a “valid date” or “decision date” range, but please note this does not apply to all types of Building Control cases.
Viewing your results
Once you click “Search,” your results will appear with the newest cases at the top. Use the page numbers at the top and bottom to see more results.
Click on the case number to view the full details, including a summary of the works, the applicant’s name, and the registered address.
What if I get no results?
If your search comes up empty, you might have made a typo or entered too much detail in the wrong box. Try deleting some details (like the house name) and use the % wildcard before searching again. If you are still stuck, contact Building Control.

Public documents: For privacy reasons, no actual documents are viewable to the public online.
