Demolition Review Bylaw
The Demolition Review Bylaw establishes a uniform process for preserving and protecting significant structures within the town that reflect distinctive features of the architectural, cultural, political or social history of Concord. It encourages owners to seek alternatives that preserve, rehabilitate, relocate or restore structures rather than demolish them.
Under this bylaw, all proposals for the total demolition of any structure that is 50 or more years old are reviewed by the Historical Commission to determine whether that structure has architectural or historical significance.
Applications for Demolition Review are due five (5) weeks before a scheduled Historical Commission meeting. This allows time for the Commission to conduct the initial site visit to determine if the structure is historically significant, run legal ads, and mail abutter notifications should a public hearing be required.
Please submit a hard copy of the application, the Legal Ad Form, and photos or other supporting information to the Planning Division at 141 Keyes Road. If you have any questions regarding the application process, please email Senior Planner, Ann Clifford, aclifford@concordma.gov.
