| North Yorkshire Building Control Partnership is the first Local Authority Building Control Partnership in the UK. It provides a building control service to Hambleton, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough and Selby District Councils.
The Partnership processes Building Regulation applications under the provisions of Section 91 and 92 of the Building Act 1984. Building Regulations exist to secure the health, safety, welfare and convenience of people in and about buildings, together with conservation of fuel and power and access and facilities for disabled people.
In addition to Building Regulations, the Partnership undertakes work in relation to dangerous structures and for Hambleton, Richmondshire, Scarborough and Selby District Councils only, demolitions. Street naming and numbering, skips, scaffolding and hoarding licences are dealt with for Scarborough Borough Council.

Building Excellence Awards
Each year the Partnership holds its Building Excellence Awards, which recognise imaginative design and quality workmanship throughout both districts. It is intended that the scheme will look at the overall construction package from the design concept through to completion of the development. The scheme is divided into a number of categories so that all types of development are eligible for nomination.
The categories are:
- Best domestic conversion or extension
- Best housing - small developer or development, for example 1-10 units
- Best housing - large developer or development, for example 11+ units
- Best social or affordable housing development
- Best community building
- Best educational building
- Best commercial building less that £1,000,000
- Best commercial building more than £1,000,000
- Best sustainable project
- Best technical innovation
The only requirement is that the development must have been completed between 1 June and 31 May two years prior to the event. This allows the building to weather and landscaping to mature before judging takes place.
Anyone can nominate a development after it has been completed and we will hold the application over until the appropriate judging year.
Applications should be received by the end of May, in any year. Judging usually takes place in July, with the Award presentations in September; however, this can vary slightly.
