    Just wondering if there is a deadline on completion once notice is submitted and ground broken?

    At a selfbuild a while now roof is on and windows are in. (house 180m away from road)

    Only reason I ask might have contact the council regarding something else and the council would see house not completed.

    Googled it cannot find anything regarding completion date.

    In order to be within your planning permission you need to be at "roof level" within the 5 year period.

    However BCMS is strictly to do with Building Regulations and Building Control Regulations. No mandatory finishing date for those but there have most likely been updates to the building regulations since you started. Some of these may or may not apply to you depending on your start date and the specific implementation and transition requirements set out in the updates.

    But once you have the building at "roof level" for your planning permission there is nothing that precludes you from finishing whenever you want after that provided you comply with building regulations.

    Your title says "BCMS" but then you are vague enough about the contact with the council - are you likely to be dealing with the planning section or the building control section or either or both?

    Thanks metric tensor

    Neither bcms or planning more likely heritage section but they will refer to planning application.

    The only reason I asked was my uncle up the road was saying the council informed someone who was building at a very slow rate to speed up, their house was on the side of the road and had no windows in yet and they had the opes boarded up.

    That sounds like a story that grew a few legs down at the pub. I'd say if you got a copy of the letter that the council sent the owner it would tell a slightly different story!
