If you want to demolish a building exceeding
50m3 you must send us a Demolition Notice.
This should be submitted at least six weeks before the
demolition work starts.
You will also need to submit a:
- site location plan - showing the building to be demolished
- site specific method statement - explaining how the building
will be demolished safely.
You should notify gas, water and electricity companies so they
can arrange for their services to be sealed. When the demolition is
complete the site should be cleared and made safe.
Demolition work can cause problems for your neighbours and every
care should be taken to minimise nuisance for them. You must send
them a letter before work starts to inform them of your plans
and what to expect.
For more information and a demolition application form

if it is a List Building or located in a conservation area.
