Planning, building and the environment

---

Summary

This Impact Assessment sets out the proposed changes to Part P of the Building Regulations and provides an analysis of the associated costs and benefits.

The proposals aim to reduce the bureaucracy and cost burdens that Part P imposes on installers, building control bodies and consumers, without undermining the improvements to electrical safety, installer competence and the quality of electrical installation work arising from the introduction of Part P in 2005.

The proposed changes would simplify the Part P guidance and improve compliance with its provisions.

This Impact Assessment is a supporting document for Section three of the 2012 Building Regulations consultation, which can be found below in the "Related publications" section.
