The areas covered are;   G1 Cold water supply G2 Water efficiency G3 Hot Water supply and systems G4 Sanitary conveniences and washing facilities G5 Bathrooms G6 Food Preparation areas   The bulk of the changes only apply to new dwellings and conversion work to form new dwellings. There are also implications for all developments where new water supplies or new hot water systems are installed.  Otherwise the changes are fairly minor.   CNC delivered a seminar outlining the proposed changes last September based on the 2009 draft Approved Document.  There are no significant changes between the 2009 draft and the final version which was released 12 March 2010 so the content is still valid. For anyone interested there is a separate document on the CLG's website detailing the changes between the 2009 draft and the 2010 Approved Document. If you have been working with the 2009 draft you may wish to check the changes.   To view/download CNC's presentation click on the following link.   Click here for the link to the New Approved Document Part G   The changes will take effect on 6 April 2010 and will apply to all work started after 6 April 2010 unless an application has already been received approved.      CHANGES TO BUILDING REGULATIONS PART G   Presentation given by Alan Osborne, Head of Operations, for CNC Building Control held on Monday, 28th September.   Click here for a downloadable version of the presentation.   PRESENTATION BY COOPERS FIRE ON "FIRE & SMOKE CURTAINS"   A presentation delivered by Cooper Fire took place on Wednesday, 24th February 2010.   Click here to download this presentation.   CONSULTATION ON CHANGES TO BUILDING REGULATIONS PART L & F   The Government is publishing a consultation document containing proposals on changes to Parts L & F of the Building Regulations.   The consultation document, including response forms, are available on the Communitities and Local Goverment website and can be accessed via the link :   http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/partlf2010consultation   Responses to this consultation are sought by 17th September 2009.      Permitted Development Seminar   Presentation by Phil Kirby, President of the Planning Officers Society held on Wednesday, 11th March 2009 Click here for a downloadable version of the presentation Anglian Water Seminar Update Steve Burley, Policy & Performance Manager - Developer Services from Anglian Water gave a presentation recently.
