No; you do not require planning permission to demolish unless the building is listed (certainly here in the UK). Daft, but true.

Without straying wildly off topic – does demolition therefore not comprise a “material alteration” in the eyes of the law? Strange then that every application starts with “demolition of x, and construction of y, z and 12 storeys of jaysus lads”. I had this discussion with a colleague many moons ago and we gave up and went back to work.

As we all leaned with Wiggins Teape it is not illegal to demolish a building even when permission to redevelop is refused on the grounds that it would involve demolition.
