Make a building control application

Demolishing part or all of a building should be undertaken by a competent person or contractor. It is the owner's responsibility to make sure it is carried out in a safe manner and all relevant notifications are given.

You must give us at least 6 weeks notice of any intended demolition work that involves all or part of any building unless it is:

• as a result of a demolition order issued by the council
• an internal part of an occupied building that will continue to be occupied
• a building less than 50 cubic metres externally measured
• a greenhouse, conservatory, shed or prefabricated garage even if it is part of a larger building
• an agricultural building which is not contiguous to another building

Please read our demolition application guidance.
