Notes
Where the address has been amended since the building warrant was granted, or where the submission covers only part of a building warrant (for example is for one house in a development of several dwellings that were subject to a single warrant) an address identifying the work covered by the submission must be supplied.
The person signing this form is declaring compliance with building regulations by signing the application for a temporary occupation or use. The verifier will undertake reasonable inquiry, considering mitigation measures, and if satisfied will permit temporary occupation or use.
WARNING
This permission does not exempt you from obtaining any other types of permission that may be necessary before the building is used, such as planning permission or licensing

Should a completion certificate not be accepted by a verifier within the specified period, an application should be made for [a] further period[s] of temporary occupation or use.
If any person submits an application for temporary occupation or use which that person knows to be false or misleading in a material particular or recklessly makes an application for temporary occupation or use containing a statement which is false or misleading in a material particular the person is guilty of an offence.
