Dear Sir/Madam

Building Act 1984: Approved Document Basements for dwellings

I am writing to inform you that the Approved Document Basements for dwellings, published by the Basement Information Centre in 2004 with an Addendum published in 2007, has been removed from the list of Approved Documents from today, 1 Department for Communities and Local Government E-mail: enquiries.br@communities.gsi.gov.uk Sustainable Buildings

October 2010. Some of the guidance in it does not reflect the changes in Building Regulations since it was last published.

The Basement Information Centre is therefore currently developing new guidance for basements in dwellings and hope to make it available shortly.

Yours faithfully

Anthony Burd

Head of Technical Policy

Sustainable Buildings Division.
