Commercial services

Building control

This section should help you work out if you need building regulations approval, and if so how to apply and how much it is likely to cost. There is also information about other services provided by the Vale’s Building Control Team, which includes making sure that dangerous buildings and structures are made safe and demolition work is carried out safely.

Direct Services Organisation

The Council's Direct Services Organisation (DSO) carries out work throughout the Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire District Council areas. They offer a range of services including:

Local land charges

The Council’s Local Land Charges Team deals with requests for information about charges and restrictions affecting property and details about planning, building regulations, roads, traffic schemes and environmental matters. See this page for more details about what the team can search for and details of search fees.  

Pest control

The Vale provides a professional pest control service for householders or businesses affected by rats, mice and insects including fleas, wasps and bees. See here for details of how to request the services of the Council’s pest control officers, and for details of charges.
