Notification of demolition

There are cases where you do not need a demolition permit, but you may still need to submit a notification of demolition.

This applies when you want to demolish a building or part of a building that lies outside the area covered by the municipality's local plan. To demolish ancillary buildings to detached or semi-detached houses, you do not need to submit a notification.

If your demolition permit is granted or you have submitted a notification of demolition, you must await the go-ahead notification from the building committee before you can start demolishing the building.

Requirements

The demolisher must conduct checks and testing to the extent required by Sweden's Plan- och bygglag (2010:900) (Planning and Building Act). The demolition must be performed in accordance with the plan and observe due care.

For almost all demolition projects, there must be an inspection manager who is independent in relation to the demolisher. The inspection manager is to assist the developer in drawing up a plan for checking the demolition. An application for a demolition permit or notification of demolition is to state the name of the inspection manager.

Other uses of the Document/Certificate

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
e.g. Birth Certificate can be used as proof of identity.
