Is permission required for demolition?
You will not normally need to apply for planning permission to knock down your house, a part of it (e.g. a chimney) or any of its outbuildings.
However, where demolition of any kind of residential property is proposed, the Council may wish to agree the details of how you intend to carry out the demolition and how you propose to restore the site afterwards. Most demolition is carried out using either crawler excavators or high reach excavators depending on the size of the structure to be demolished.
You will need to apply for a formal decision on whether the council wishes to approve these details before you start clearance. This is what is called a “prior approval application”
If you want to demolish a building, or part of it, in a conservation area and the volume to be demolished is 115 m³ or greater you will need conservation area consent.
