Demolition
At least six weeks prior to commencement of demolition works, section 80 of The Building Control Act 1984 requires notice to be served to the relevant bodies; this should include ourselves, the occupier's of any adjacent buildings, the public gas and electricity supplier for the area.
The ‘Notice of Intended Demolition’ should outline the extent of demolition, the location of the building and the date the work is expected to start. This can be sent to us in the form of a letter (via email) or by submitting the form below. Once received, the proposed demolition will be registered and acknowledged by us. Work can only start after the notice has been received from us or six weeks has expired since the notice served. Our notice will detail any work required to be carried out to adjacent properties or services on the demolition site.
Demolitions must comply with Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
You may need to also need to obtain planning, listed building and/or conversation area consent for the works.
