Does a new partition wall need building regulations approval?

A simple non-structural partition in an existing house often does not, but it can if it affects fire escape routes, ventilation or natural light, or forms part of a loft conversion, extension or conversion to flats. Sound insulation rules apply to new homes and conversions. If in doubt, check with your local building control before work starts.
