To make a payment of £320,000 to Hertfordshire Building Control in respect of work in progress and IT work carried out. The Borough Council has a legal duty under the Building Act 1984 to progress applications made to it for consent under the Building Regulations. DBC transferred operational responsibility for determining building control applications to HBC on 16 December 2019. The payment covers a fair and reasonable settlement for the likely costs to HBC of dealing with DBC’s outstanding caseload of applications prior to the transfer date.
