Manual to the Building Regulations
The umbrella reference document published by DLUHC/MHCLG that explains how the Building Regulations 2010 and the suite of Approved Documents fit together. Sets out which works are notifiable, how the building control process operates (full plans vs building notice), the role of competent person schemes, and how the individual Approved Documents (A through to S, plus AD7) interact. Useful starting point for homeowners or self-managers needing to understand which Parts apply to a given project before drilling into the individual ADs.

The buildwiz build guides walk through a UK extension in sequence and link to Manual (and every other Approved Document) at the exact stage it bites. That is usually a more productive way to use this material than reading the document cover to cover.
