PARTY WALL ACT

The owner should they need to do so under the requirements of the Party Wall Act 1996
has a duty to serve a Party Structure Notice on any adjoining owner if the building work
involves works on or to an existing Party Wall including:
• Support of beam
• Insertion of DPC through wall
• Raising of wall or cutting of projections
• Demolition and rebuilding
• Underpinning
• Insertion of lead flashings
• Excavations within 3 metres of an existing structure where the new foundations
will go deeper than adjoining foundations, or within 6 metres of an existing structure
where the new foundations are within a 45 degree line of the adjoining foundations.
A Party wall agreement is to be in place prior to start of works on site.
