Exemptions
The Building Act 1984 gives
specific exemptions to certain buildings, which if applicable,
means that a notice under Section 80 of the Building Act 1984 would
not be necessary.
These are as follows:
- The building to be demolished is less than 1750
cubic feet in volume (external measurement).
- The structure is a
greenhouse, conservatory, shed or prefabricated garage which forms
part of a larger building.
- The demolition is of an internal part of an occupied
building.
- The demolition arises under Part IX of the Housing Act
1985.
- Certain agricultural buildings.
If you are in any doubt about whether the structure you
intend to demolish is exempt from a Section 80 notice please
contact Building Control.
