The Party Wall Act 1996
What does this mean?
Where a building owner wishes to carry out work that falls within one of the three areas, it is necessary to serve notice on the adjoining owner. Works carried out where a Party Wall Award may be required include: building a new wall, removing a chimney from a party wall, or making changes to the original party wall (for example, making it taller or deeper). If consent is not given, it is deemed that a dispute has arisen which, due to the Party Wall Act, there is a provision made for a surveyor to be appointed to resolve the dispute by way of an award.
