Frequently Asked Questions
A Building Notice is a formal request to show cause why building work should not be rectified or demolished. A Building Order legally requires specific rectifications within set timeframes or even demolition and removal of structures.
Typically, a Building Notice response must be lodged within 30 days depending on the council.
Ignoring enforcement can result in heavy fines, demolition orders, legal proceedings, or court-enforced compliance.
