The Party Wall Act 1996 came into force on 1st July 1997 and provides a framework for preventing and resolving disputes in relation to party walls, boundary walls and excavations near neighbouring buildings. Please be aware that Warwick District Council does not have a role in controlling or enforcing the Party Wall Act.
If you think the Party Wall Act applies to you, you should become familiar with what the Act requires. You should know:

- The rights and responsibilities of your neighbour.
