If you’re considering changing a boundary wall, it’s important to understand the permission requirements before starting any work. Here’s everything you need to know about changing a boundary wall and the necessary permissions.
The answer to this question depends on the type of work you plan to do on the wall. In general, you will need to seek permission from the appropriate authorities if the changes will affect the structure or appearance of the wall.
Some common examples of changes that require permission include:
Demolishing or removing a boundary wall
Increasing the height or length of the wall
Changing the design or materials of the wall
