Giving notice
You should apply online to notify us of a proposed demolition. We must be informed at least 6 weeks before demolition commences.
Before applying, you'll need:
- site location - the location plan enables us to pinpoint the exact whereabouts of a site
- block plans - the highlighted block plan clearly identifies the building(s) to be demolished. We need high-quality block plans to determine which conditions are appropriate to be included in the Section 81 counter notice
You can upload these plans when applying online.
Online demolition notice application
Alternatively, if you intend to give notice in writing with a letter, it should give all the usual contact details, including emergency mobile numbers and an anticipated start date, as well as the statutory information. The statutory information should be a simple statement confirming neighbours and key statutory undertakers (for example, gas/electricity boards) have been notified.
The Fire Brigade and Health and Safety Executive should be consulted as a courtesy on special occasions, for example, where a key access road may need to be temporarily closed and/or the demolition is unusual (for example, an explosive demolition).
