Dangerous Buildings and Structures
The Building Control team will visit a site upon notification of
a dangerous structure and will give advice and guidance as to
procedures to make safe for the public.
A dangerous building or structure can be anything on or about a
building or structure that may be a danger to members of the
public.
These can include:
- Loose or falling roof tiles,
- Walls or fences that are in danger of
collapse,
- Unstable chimneys,
- Buildings that have become unstable because
of their age, storm damage, fire damage, or vehicle impact,
- Buildings that have become dangerous due to
negligent actions of builders or other persons carrying out
alteration works
The powers the Council uses are contained in
The Building Act (1984), specifically:
- Section 77 Dangerous Buildings, and,
- Section 78 Dangerous Buildings - Emergency
measures.
