If you're planning a demolition, you need to notify us six weeks before starting any works.

This is to allow enough time to:

  • gather the documents and information relating to the process
  • consult with various organisations
  • prepare any comments or requirements.

Contractors' responsibility

Demolition causes higher levels of dust, noise and vibration. Contractors should use best practice methods to reduce inconvenience.

We work with contractors to achieve responsible demolition. We have the power to prosecute those who fail to comply.
