In order for us to process this application you must also provide a 1:1250 location plan clearly indicating the buildings to be demolished, all adjacent properties and existing drainage systems to be sealed, together with a copy of the demolition contractor's method statement indicating safe methods of demolition.
Within 6 weeks of receiving this completed application, we will issue a Demolition Notice setting out a number of conditions that have to be complied with during the demolition works necessary to maintain public safety and public amenity.
Building Control may also consult with the Environmental Health and Planning departments, Leicestershire County Council Highways, and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service prior to the issuing of a demolition notice.
You should also notify all service providers such as gas, electric and water by sending them a copy of the notification form and location plan, in order that they may arrange with yourselves for their services to be safely disconnected.
