Private Sector Housing, Planning, Environmental Health, and Building Control functions are generally spread across a number of service departments which vary from one council to another.
Please note:
- the Private Sector Housing link is the best general page we can find
- if searching the local authority's website doesn't help, try calling the general switchboard number which is given
- a link is given for councils which operate a Trusted Trader scheme
- please let us know if any of the links don't work - councils make more changes to their websites than we can keep up with
