Yes. Following the publication of Approved Document Q, security is incorporated into the building regulations in England for the first time.
Effective from 1st October 2015, Approved Document Q (England) sets security requirements for new dwellings in England. The approved document sets out reasonable standards for doors and windows to resist physical attack by a casual or opportunist burglar by being both sufficiently robust and fitted with appropriate hardware.
It does not apply to work started before 1st October 2015, or work subject to a building notice, full plans application or initial noticed submitted before that date provided the work is started on site before 1st October 2016.
On a multi-building site, it is the start of the first building that determines whether or not the transitional provisions apply to all the buildings within the scope of an application. If in doubt, the building control or planning body should be consulted.
