There is some brownfield land nearby the house, upon which there is a
derelict 17th century Public House and for which a planning
application had been refused in 2006 to erect self contained flats.

In the space of a few months this year, a boarding has been removed
from the front of the public house, there had been a fire and the
building (and land) has been sold. I noted just last week a
demolition
engineer entering the building.


Today I recieved a Demoltion Notice, Building Act 1980, it specified
that the firm "name" has three months to demolish the property and
must adhere to the requirements of the Building Act 1980.



Who was the notice from? You do have "Freedom of Information" (FOI)
rights. If you can find the relevant government agency, they should have
a published policy on FOI and you could follow that to get what you're
after.

The Local Authority will have an FOI policy as well.
