Section 80
Notice
Before demolition works commence,
the owner of a building must first give written notification to the
local authority specifying the exact name and location of the
building to be demolished and a description of the demolition
works.
This notice is required under Section 80 of the Building Act
1984. The owner should also send a copy of this notice to gas and
electricity suppliers and also to owners of any adjoining
buildings. It is also important to include a site plan with the
notice that clearly indicates the building(s) to be
demolished.
