Demolition control and advice |
| Buildings to be demolished are subject to legal
requirements administered by the building control staff - all in
the interest of safety to the public and adjoining
owners/occupiers. | |
|
In most instances if you wish to demolish a building or
part, you are required to notify the local authority in writing,
giving six weeks notice. A copy of the notice should also be sent
to other interested parties, such as the occupier of any adjacent
building, and the local gas and electricity authorities.
A counter notice may be served on you that may require you to
carry out works to services and adjoining buildings. This is to
ensure that gas, electricity and water supplies are made safe,
redundant drains are sealed, affected buildings are properly
supported and weatherproofed, and on completion debris is removed
and the site made safe. This work can include noise, smoke which
could be a nuisance to neighbouring people and
premises.
