Who can help me if my neighbour is carrying out works to a party wall?
Works to party walls are purely a civil matter controlled by the Party Wall etc Act 1996 and the council has no enforcement power to intervene. You should contact a party wall surveyor for advice in this matter; alternatively, the Building Control team may be able to offer assistance. • You can download advice and guidance on this matter from the Department for Communities and Local Government (formerly the ODPM) planning website.
