Charges effective from the 2nd April 2025 and indicate VAT calculated at the rate of 20%
The following table includes charges for typical non-domestic extensions and new build projects.
Where other work is being undertaken at the same time as an extension, in one scheme, reductions may be possible and you are advised to contact building control for advice.
If your building work does not fit the categories below your fee would have to be individually determined and the charge will assessed based on the use of the building; type of building work; floor area; complexity; project duration and estimated cost.
Please email building.control@oldham.gov.uk with your request including a basic drawing of the proposal and stating the proposed use of the building; type of building work; floor area; project duration and estimated cost.
