If works or a change of use have already started or been carried out, you can no longer apply for a Fire Safety Certificate, you must apply for a Regulatisation Certiciate. This is similar to a Fire Safety Certificate, however the application must be accompanied by a Statutory Declaration that the works will comply fully with the application made and any conditions attached thereto with four months of the Certificate being issued.
