What you need to know
You may also need to apply for planning permission.
A scaled plan is required showing the extent of the demolition in relation to roads and adjoining buildings. It is the duty of the person giving this notice to send or give a copy of it to:
- the occupier of any adjacent building
- British Gas
- the area Electricity Board
No demolition to which Section 80 of the Building Act 1984 applies should start unless notice has been given to the council, and either the council has issued a demolition notice, or 6 weeks has passed.
Notice to the adjoining owners under the Party Wall Act may also be required.
A separate application is required for the erection of any hoarding or scaffold over a public footpath or highway.
