Demolition - enforcement

Anyone who wishes to demolish a structure should make an application under section 80 of the Building Act 1984 to the Building Control department. The Act requires the person to notify the Building Control department of their intentions six weeks prior to starting the work. Section 81 and 82 of the Act requires Building Control to respond with a schedule of requirements on how the work is to be undertaken. This is to prevent any danger to the public during the demolition.
