Yes. Is it not even less clear when the actual words from the Building Regulation (not guidance) are used? "A person intending to carry out work".
To be fair, I think the "intending" arises because the requirement is (as per the rest of the sentence) that the person 'notifies' a building control body, and obtains their permission to go ahead, before the work commences. So, to use BAS language, they would be 'lying' if they said that they were 'carrying out the work' before the work had started!

Kind Regards, John

I know you (Bas) disagree but -

What about "A person intending to build an extension" relating to planning and structure?
Does the bricklayer have to do the paperwork?
 
Can you post the link to the part of the Building Regulations which contains that phrase? As the website holds them as several dozen individual pages it's not feasible to search the entire document.

You said What about "A person intending to build an extension" relating to planning and structure?

I asked Can you post the link to the part of the Building Regulations which contains that phrase?

You said BR amendment 2012 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/3119/regulation/6/made

I pointed out that BR amendment 2012 does not contain the phrase "A person intending to build an extension"
 
Please explain.
It appears that BAS is playing games again. You mentioned the (I assume hypothetical) phrase "A person intending to build an extension" and when BAS asked you to produce the page of the BR which contained that phrase, you provided a link to the (known) one about "A person intending to carry out (electrical) building work ....". His over-width graphical response appears to be an attempt to show you that the phrase "A person intending to build an extension" does not appear on that page.

Sigh.

Not playing games.

The thing is that it is rather difficult, and remarkably pointless, to try and say what the legislation intends wrt to a hypothetical term which it does not contain.

I can't always do anything about the fact that your display has such limitations.

The screenshot was of the web page as it showed when I visited it.

FYI - this is as narrow as I can make it before I have to start horizontal scrolling:

Probably not.
If not, what do you think is its purpose in the electrical part?

Right.

Can you post the link to the relevant part of the Building Regulations which does not contain that phrase? As the website holds them as several dozen individual pages it's not feasible to search the entire document.
