Demolition of Premises

Health risks, nuisance and environmental damage need to be avioded during demolition.
The rights of the general public have to be protected.

The Building Act 1984 imposes a number of duties on a person intending to carry out demolition work:

To give written notice to the Building Control Service of the intended demolition, specifying the building, its address and the extent of the demolition works.

The demolition company MUST NOT commence demolition works until:

  • The Borough Council has given either the demolition contractor, builder or developer written notification of the conditions within which the work can be carried out or,
  • A period of six weeks has elapsed from the date that the council demolition notice was issued by the Borough Council.
