What Are Your Legal Rights When Extending Near a Boundary Line Extension Warminster?
If you want to build close to a boundary line, you have some legal rights. But, there are rules that you need to follow.
These rights are set by the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. This Act comes in when your work might change a shared wall, fence, or something near a neighbour’s place.
Your Legal Rights Include:
1. Building Up to the Boundary: You can build right up to the edge of your land, but you must not go over it. You do not need to have your neighbour’s permission for this.
2. Building On the Boundary (Party Wall): You can build a wall right on the boundary. Your neighbor has to say yes in writing for you to do this.
3. Excavation Rights: You can dig the ground for foundations close to a neighbor’s building. You need to do this with care, follow the law, and let them know ahead of time.
But You Also Have Legal Responsibilities:
You have to give a Party Wall Notice if the work you do will change a wall or any building part that you share with someone else.
You need to give notice 1 to 2 months before. It depends on the type of work you do.
If your neighbour does not say yes, you will have to get a Party Wall Surveyor. A Party Wall Surveyor can help the two of you fix the issue in a fair way with a Party Wall Award.
Why It Matters:
Even if you have rights, you can’t move forward without following the legal steps. If you skip this, you might have trouble with your neighbours, have to stop work, or face legal trouble—like being told to take out the work you did.

Have You Served the Right Party Wall Notice Before Extending the Boundary?
Before starting a boundary line extension Warminster, it’s not just about planning permission or building regulations — you also need to consider the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

Building a new wall at or along the boundary line
