Hi - I'm looking for some Party Wall Guidance. I'm in the process of buying a house. The area it's in will become a conservation area later this year, stripping it of PD rights. So I need to get an outbuilding/workshop built quick! I'd like to avoid negotiating a party wall agreement, as the neighbouring property is currently unoccupied and I wouldn't even know where to start or who to contact.
The place I want to build the outbuilding is on the boundary on 3 sides - a playing field, a neighbouring garden and a shared private road (I believe the unoccupied neighbour 'owns' the private road land, but I have access to it).
The neighbouring property is too far away for the 3m/6m rule to come into play.
So a few key questions:
Thanks in advance

So a few key questions:
- Looking online - a party wall notice/agreement is required if a building/wall is built on or up to the boundary. How far would I have to build from the boundary to be not defined as 'up to'?
- As per (annoyingly the 'free trial' is only applicable to business' not individuals) - Does a private road 'foundation' class as an applicable party wall structure i.e. for 3m/6m rules?
Thanks in advance
