Party Wall Act 1996
You are reminded of your duties under the Party Wall Act 1996. This requires a building owner to notify and obtain formal agreement from adjoining property freeholders and leaseholders and anyone who has had an interest of 12 months or greater, where the building owner intends to carry out work which involves:
Work involving an existing shared wall with another property;
Building on the boundary with another property;
Excavating near a neighbouring building, and that work falls within the scope of the Act
Notice should be served on neighbours at least one month before commencement of building works. Section 12(1) of the Act provides for the developer to provide security for neighbours through insurance or a security bond.
Procedures under this Act are separate from the need for planning permission and for building regulations approval. Further guidance is available at: Party Wall Act 1996

Building Regs - Separate Approval
Separate approval for the works hereby granted permission/consent may be required by the Building Act 1984 and the Building Regulations 2018 (as amended), and the grant of planning permission does not imply that such approval will be given. The District Surveyor, Town Hall, Hornton Street, W8 7NX should be consulted before works commence.
