11.7.2.1
If the property is demolished and the site with the same BLPU extent is left without any buildings for some time, the following changes should be made to the Record:
- Set the Approved Preferred LPI and any Alternative LPIs as historical Records.
- Add an Approved Preferred LPI giving a description of the land in its current state using the conventions described in Section 11.11 for describing land parcels.
- Also add an Alternative LPI giving reference to the former Addressable Object, for example “Site of the Queens Arms”.
- If the land is later reused in some way, edit the Approved Preferred LPI as appropriate, for example “Station Car Park”.
- Keep the BLPU LOGICAL_STATUS = 1 - Approved BLPU, throughout.
- This method is to be used if the extent of the BLPU does not change.
11.7.2.2
If the property is demolished and the site is to be redeveloped with multiple properties, the following changes should be made to the Record:
- Close the original LPI.
- Add LPIs as at Section 11.7.2.1 until development commences.
- Add a developer’s site name as a Provisional LPI, if required.
- When the development is complete, set the site BLPU as historical.
This method is to be used if the original BLPU extent no longer represents a discrete parcel of land.
11.7.2.3
If the property is within a redevelopment and demolition on the entire site happens straight away the following changes should be made to the Record:
- Set all the BLPUs within the site as historical.
- Create a new BLPU for the whole site. This BLPU should have LPIs as at Section 11.7.2.1 reflecting addresses that existed within the site, such as “Land at 2 to 12 High Street and Burton House” or some other comprehensive description.
- Add a developer’s site as a Provisional LPI, if required.
- If demolition of the whole site does not happen all at the same time, then the actions at Section 11.7.2.1 can be used until the whole site is a single cleared area.
11.7.2.4
If the development involves the re-use of the existing address, for example a house at “1 Adam Street” is to be demolished and a bungalow built, the following changes should be made to the Record:
- At demolition set the existing LPI as historical.
- Add a new Approved Preferred LPI of “Site of 1” on Adam Street.
- When the new building is officially addressed by the SNN Authority, set the “Site of 1” LPI as historical and add a new LOGICAL_STATUS = 1 - Approved Preferred LPI, on “Adam Street”.
- If Provisional LPIs are added at SNN stage before development commences, add an LPI of “Replacement for 1” on “Adam Street”. This then indicates that the address is to be reused but referring to a different building if the development takes place.
- If the development does not happen and the original building remains, delete the Provisional LPIs, if required.
11.7.2.5
A rule that allows consistency in the text for demolished or changed properties is to always use “Former…” when demolition occurs, and the property name or number will be reused by the SNN Authority. If no redevelopment takes place use “Site of…”.
