Demolition of 19th-century house
Page 1 of 2
Wondering if one can demolish an older residential house in the countryside and bury the demolition wood and foundation? Without risking any consequences from the municipality? Of course, a demolition notification should be filed,

If you're planning to file a demolition notification, that's probably a very bad idea. So no, you should not/may not bury demolition wood; why not take it to the dump?
The reason I don't want to dispose of clean wood is that it would cost 150,000 SEK and I have 200 hectares without neighbors and my own excavator. But if the law says so, of course, I'll do it.Andreas_kalmar said:
You're likely to get the best answer if you ask the municipality... Along with the demolition notice, you need to submit a plan for how the waste will be managed, specifying the types of waste, approximate volumes, and any hazardous waste. If you write that you will take it to the dump but instead bury it, you will likely encounter problems. But the municipality might accept a plan that involves depositing clean stone and wood locally? Otherwise, you can write that the wood will be saved for reuse, and then you can pile it up in some secluded part of the property...
Yes, I thought it sounded terribly expensive to deposit wood in a container, when the whole house consists of a timber frame with thick planks in the floor trusses, and the roof is made of timber logs. I understand the need to deposit painted wood, e-waste, and radiator pipes along with various sanitary items. Do you think they'll accept if you state that the wood is intended for firewood? I use firewood for heating in two of my other houses.useless said:

An old father-in-law tore down his house after they built a new one, it was a run-down log cabin. All the timber went to a brother-in-law who burned it in his wood boiler. The neighbor took the sawdust and burned it in his chip/sawdust boiler.
So it should be possible to at least specify that it should be burned in the boiler, then if you burn it all in a big bonfire after tearing it down, that's another thing.

Yes, I will most likely do that, just thinking about how the municipality views where I dispose of the demolition waste, since I'm going to build a new house in the same place, I don't want to do anything that risks causing problems.K kest said:
Yes indeed, I also think it should be doable, I have no neighbors within 3km who might be bothered by it, thinking along the same lines.L Lutte said:An old father-in-law tore down his house after they built a new one, it was a shabby timber house.

200 hectares. Then it's a commercial property. You can reuse all the material for buildings you have or plan to build as only the main building requires a building permit. Agricultural buildings for the business are exempt.K kest said:

Yes indeed, it is a commercial property, with two barns at 480 sqm and 375 sqm, plus 4 agricultural buildings, there you mentioned a really good thing I hadn't thought of.K kest said:
