Demolish a building

Find out when you need to tell us you want to demolish a building.

If you want to demolish the whole or part of a building you might need to complete a demolition notice.

You won't need to tell us if:

  • the building is less than 1750 cubic feet, measured externally (approximately 50 cubic metres)
  • a demolition order under the Housing Act 1985 has been served
  • the demolition is of an internal part of any occupied building, which will remain occupied
  • the building is a greenhouse, conservatory, shed, or prefabricated garage
  • the building is agricultural, unless it is near or touching another building that is not an agricultural building
