Asked by Kelly on 11th Jul 2022"Planning permission works in different ways .
A competent Trade person should comply with all regulations / If it required he should give the advice correctly or even seek up to date building control .
Or you the owner should seek through your Local Authorities your concerns
Bodies like Gas safe will give your answer .
My Knowledge a gas pipe can beneath the ground in the correct application . I was a gas Safe registered company with a exemplary record .
Let the trade show you the building document to satisfy ."
"Hi ,no you are not allowed to build over any gas pipes or pipework untill you have contacted the building inspector and they then need to come out and inspect it first"

Answered on 11th Jul 2022 - Member since Apr 2022 - report"One can check with ;
The Building Regulations .
The Gas Regulations .
Any gas pipe going through a wall must be in a sleeve .
This is the gas pipe inside another pipe .
This offers protection .
The Regulations underground are there for specific reasons .
I have my own knowledge and opinion .
However Councils have their own Building Control departments and use Building Inspectors .
Gas Safe.They have their own inspectors .
My advice is to contact both and that way you get the information you require"
"A trade man can not just start building over a gas pipe under the ground without first consulting the local authority to fine out if its safe to do so. All necessary checks will be carried out and make sure it is wise to do so ."
