^ Very much this.
Developers/contractors can essentially self-sign.
Just part of the 'all public sector jobs are bad' mantra of the Coallition naintained by Tmay's weak&wobbly government. -
building control jobs in England were privatised a few years ago with obvious implications
Didn't quite get this. So it used to be that inspections were done by civil servants but now you will have to hire independent surveyors? And in the privatisation process one also removed certain obligations to have the surveys done? The motivations of stingy landlords to avoid inspections is obvious, but where are the insurance companies in all of this?

lols at the Mail ttrying to blame green regulations.
My partner used to be a surveyor in London and says that building control jobs in England were privatised a few years ago with obvious implications: all of a sudden the number of control orders drops to zero which if people are doing their jobs is impossible. It's that lovely Tory "cutting red tape" in action and I hope they are forever crucified for it.
