Quick Summary

If your house was demolished by the District Planning Department without prior notice, even if it was deemed illegal, you may have grounds for action. While building without proper permissions is unlawful, demolition should not occur without due process, including issuing notices. It is advisable to consult a local solicitor to explore your options, especially if the demolition was carried out without proper jurisdiction or without serving you with official notices.

Every building must have proper permissions/approvals by the competent authority. Without such legally valid permission, no one can construct houses as they like as such actions adversely affect planning. However, the demolition without issuing notices is not proper. Contact a local advocate for a remedy if the demolition was done by the authorities without jurisdiction or without serving notices.
