Enforcement
Demolition works can cause problems for neighbours of the site. You can reduce or avoid causing any nuisance to the neighbours, or action being taken by us, if you follow our advice.
- give us 6 weeks' notice of demolition work
- we may impose some conditions about how the work should be done
- send a letter to the neighbours before work starts, telling them about the work and what to expect
- give the neighbours a contact name and telephone number and keep them informed
- deal promptly with any complaints received on site
- keep dust, noise and smoke to a minimum, particularly noisy operations (for example, pile driving)
- pumps and generators should not be left running overnight if they can be heard outside the site.
If you are a householder doing some or all the work yourself, try to avoid causing any noise or dust in the evenings or on Sundays. If noise problems occur, the neighbours, and us can take legal action. If you think your work may cause a significant nuisance to the neighbours from noise or vibration please contact us prior to commencing work.
