Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.59 PM

We have been looking at totally demolishing and designing/rebuilding our bungalow BUT haven't a clue how/where to start!

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi Reg For that you need to contact an architect and probably will need planing permission from your council. Once the preliminary office work has been through they pass on the project to traders like us. I am working often with architects and I could give you some contacts. I hope it helped.

Dear Reg_77 If the Bungalow is within the Conservation Area, you are required Planning Permission prior to any demolition works. Demolition is dealt with under the Building Act 1984. Generally, it requires six weeks prior notice to be given to the Local Authority Building Control before demolition begins. The Local Authority Building Control may decide to issue a notice within six weeks on receipt of the notification to specify conditions that need to be met which may include precautions to protect adjoining properties and the public. Demolition work must also comply with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and a health and safety plan produced by the principal contractor. Building Regulations relating to site preparation and resistance to contaminants and moisture will need to be met once the preparation work starts on the site. Please contact local authority Building Control for further advice. If you are unsure whether you need planning permission, contact your local authority Planning Department
