Demolitions

A person intending to demolish a building is required to give notice to the Building Control Section at least six weeks prior to commencing. You may submit your notice in writing.

A location plan of the building showing adjacent streets and buildings also needs to be provided.

Statutory undertakers should also be notified so that they may arrange for their services to be adequately disconnected.
