Dangerous buildings

Building owners are responsible for ensuring that the condition
of their property does not pose a threat of danger to the
public.
If you think a building may be in a dangerous condition, please
contact us for a Building
Control Surveyor to make a visit and assess what needs to be
done.
Our objective is to safeguard the public by dealing quickly with
any situation that may arise.
Please remember to tell us of the exact location of the
structure, or a contact number.
In an emergency, we can be contacted outside normal office hours
by telephoning 01935 462462 and following the instructions for the
out-of-hours emergency contact service.

Demolition
|
|
Any
person intending to demolish a building or part of a building
exceeding 1,750 cubic feet must notify us of the intended
demolition.
This is
because statutory bodies such as water and
electricity companies may need to be notified together with
owners and occupiers of adjacent buildings.
In addition, we may require you to carry out certain safety
works after we have received and acknowledged your application.
Demolition must not start until a counter notice is received
from us or unless six weeks has expired.
Notify us of the intended demolition
