It is always advisable and good for neighbour relations to consult your neighbour, before carrying out work. If the work requires Planning Consent, the Council will notify your immediate neighbours. There is no requirement for the Council to do so under Building Regulations. If the work involves any of the following, The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and you should give the relevant period of notice to the adjoining owner and occupiers. Work on an existing wall shared with another property Building on the boundary with a neighbouring property Excavating near a neighbouring property A free booklet produced by the DCLG is available from the Council offices.
