The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies across England and Wales. A city or county name does not, by itself, decide whether notice is needed: check the proposed boundary, party-structure and excavation work, then serve any required notice correctly.
This first-wave index contains six local guides. We will not infer that an area has a different legal test, and each guide explains when planning and building regulations are separate from the Party Wall process.
