Anyone who wants to build, extend, alter or demolish a structure in Old Tafo needs a building permit from the Assembly before work starts. The permit confirms that your plans meet planning, safety and building regulations.
Building without a permit is an offence. Unauthorised structures can be stopped, attract penalties or be demolished.
Get the building permit application form from the Physical Planning Department of the Assembly.
Have your drawings prepared by a qualified professional and gather the documents listed under "What you need".
Return the completed form with all documents to the Physical Planning Department and pay the processing fee.
Officers inspect the site, and your application is reviewed by the technical committee against planning and building regulations.
If your application is approved, pay the permit fee and collect your building permit before any work begins.
Requirements depend on the size and use of the building. Speak to the Physical Planning Department before you prepare your drawings to avoid delays.
