Local knowledge

A city built on older stock

Winchester's older housing stock includes a significant amount of Georgian and Victorian terraced and semi-detached property, particularly in and around the city centre — construction that typically involves solid brick party walls, a different starting point for a Section 2 notice than later cavity-wall construction elsewhere in the district.

Winchester district also contains 37 designated conservation areas. Conservation area status is a separate planning matter from party wall notice requirements under the Act, but a project may need to satisfy both processes.

Winchester falls within Winchester City Council. Paul Kennedy, FPWS-qualified (Member No. PW.1543), acts for building owners and adjoining owners under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 across the city and surrounding villages.

What this means for your project

Three situations, correctly noticed

The same three notice types apply here as anywhere else the Act covers — Section 1 (new wall at the boundary), Section 2 (work to an existing party wall), and Section 6 (excavation near a neighbouring building). Which applies depends on your specific drawings and works, not on which town you're in.

Section 1: Line of Junction NoticesSection 2: Party Structure NoticesSection 6: Adjacent Excavation Notices
