Demolitions - control and advice
When intending to demolish a building, notice must be be given to the Local Authority which is usually a minimum of six weeks prior to work commencing.
You should fill in our online Demolition Notice form, or otherwise submit your intention in writing (click here for contact details). This notice must be submitted at least six weeks prior to the proposed demolition. Failure to do so is a contravention of the above Act and may result in prosecution.
A location plan of the building and adjoining streets must be provided together with a method statement for the demolition of larger buildings.
Statutory undertakers should also be notified in order that they may arrange for their services to be properly sealed.
