Demolition Consent

Minor demolition works, that is those under 50 cubic metres, are not controlled under the Building Act.

Applications for demolition should be made to Building Control, 6 weeks prior to the intended demolition. The Council then serves a "Counter Notice", generally on the demolition contractor, which will outline any precautionary measures required. A copy of this notice will then be forwarded to the occupier of any adjacent building and to the relevant statutory authorities in order for them to take appropriate action for the disconnection of gas, electricity and water supplies and the protection of their mains.
