Building Regs for St Tudy (PL30)
Building regulation drawings in Cornwall, drawn properly. Approved planning gets you permission to build — a complete building regs package is what gets you a building you can actually live in: 1:50 plans, 1:10 details, structural coordination and a specification a Cornish builder can price and build from without guesswork. St Tudy sits in North Cornwall, and that geography ends up in the drawings — St Tudy is a rural parish in the PL30 area, with farmsteads, lanes and scattered homes defining its built character, with a building stock that leans toward farmhouses and rural cottages.
St Tudy sits in North Cornwall — just off the A39; covering PL30 from Bodmin, St Breward, Washaway outward.

Why St Tudy is its own job.
In St Tudy the planning picture is specific: open-countryside policy, access lanes, drainage and agricultural building history all need to be addressed before drawings go too far. For building regulations package specifically, Cornwall Council's Local Plan applies tighter tests to isolated rural dwellings here, so design rationale and policy fit need to be set out clearly from the outset. That local reading is what makes a St Tudy (PL30) project different from a generic Cornwall scheme — and is the whole reason we work this way. On farmhouses in particular — the kind you'll also find toward Nanstallon — the building regulations package brief always has to read the existing fabric first.
Planning note
Building regulations are a separate consent track from planning. Drawing them properly upfront is the cheapest insurance you'll buy on the project.
What we focus on
Building Regs considerations specific to St Tudy.
01
Cornish exposure ratings are among the worst in the country; wind-driven rain detailing matters more here than in most of the UK.
02
Granite walls, traditional cob, slate-hung elevations and rubble construction all need different building regs detailing than standard masonry.
03
Approved Inspectors and Cornwall Council building control both work in the county; choice of inspector affects how queries are handled.
04
Coastal sites need explicit material and fixings choices in the spec — stainless or non-ferrous fixings, salt-resistant cladding and breathable build-ups.

Page purpose
What you actually get on a St Tudy building regulations package drawings package
This is a drawings-led service. You are buying a documented, submission-ready set for a PL30 address, not a build contract. For most St Tudy householders that means a measured survey, an honest feasibility view, then the drawings the council and your builder both need.
- Measured survey and existing drawings before any proposal is drawn
- A written planning route for the PL30 address, including whether permitted development is realistically available
- Proposed plans, elevations and site plan at the scales the authority expects
- Submission and validation handling, plus responses to officer queries

Our process
How a St Tudy building regulations package project runs.
Step 1
Design freeze
We confirm the planning-approved scheme as the basis for technical design.
Step 2
Structural coordination
Engineer's input on foundations, beams, lintels and steelwork is integrated into the drawings.
Step 3
Detailing
Construction details drawn at 1:10 for every junction that matters.
Step 4
Specification
Materials, U-values, finishes and workmanship written up so the builder can price accurately.
Step 5
Submission
Full Plans submission to building control with fee handling and query response through to completion certificate.
Most regs packages take three to six weeks once planning is approved, depending on structural complexity and engineer turnaround.

St Tudy Building Regs — local questions answered.
- What happens if something changes on site?
- Site queries are part of the job. We respond directly to the builder during construction, issue revised details where needed and keep building control informed if the change is material. In St Tudy specifically, we'd start by checking the latest parish-level planning history before committing to a direction.
- We live in the house. Can a building regulations package in St Tudy be done while we stay put?
- Usually yes for single-storey and rear work, with a temporary kitchen or bathroom arrangement agreed before the start. Whole-house remodels and roof work in St Tudy are often easier if you move out for a few weeks. We set that expectation at feasibility stage rather than halfway through.
- Can the builder work without building regs drawings?
- They can — and many do — but the cost gets recovered later in variations, mistakes and slower building control sign-off. A proper regs pack typically pays for itself several times over on anything beyond the smallest job.
- Who do you submit to in Cornwall?
- Either Cornwall Council building control or one of the Approved Inspectors active in the county. We're happy to recommend, but the choice is yours.
- Do I really need building regs drawings if I have planning?
- Yes — they cover completely different things. Planning controls how the building looks and where it sits; building regs control how it's actually built and whether it complies with current safety, energy and accessibility law.
- Do you coordinate with a structural engineer?
- Yes — every project that needs steel, timber or masonry calculations is coordinated in-house with a Cornish structural engineer we work with regularly.
St Tudy is part of Bodmin
St Tudy sits inside the Bodmin catchment — we cover both as one building regulations package territory.
