For us to assist you with your Council's Notice or Order, we arrange to meet with you on-site to review the alleged illegal building work according to Council's letter. During this visit we will discuss options available to you to rectify the issues involved, or whether demolition is required. 

Showing Cause does not mean giving an explanation why the work was done without a building permit, but giving formally documented technical evidence that the structure complies with the Building Act 1993 and the Building Regulations 2018.

For domestic buildings, this evidence has to cover compliance with siting (Part 4 of the Regulations), property title restrictions (encumbrances, caveats, agreements, easements), fire safety, smoke detectors, structural adequacy, construction on special areas, and any other elements found to be relevant at the time of an assessment.
