Breckland Council is keen to promote and ensure where possible that all buildings and services are accessible to all.
Working together to improve access for all
The Building Control Team is pleased to be associated with the three Access Groups operating within the District, and consult on relevant Building Regulation applications where public access and use of facilities are essential for a successful future life of the building and its users.
