Common Building Issues in Nine Elms

In boundary and party wall disputes on Wandsworth property, the planning and conservation history is often part of the documentary record we review, since it can evidence what was known, or should have been known, when the disputed works were carried out.

The local context on this page is drawn from public planning and conservation sources, together with the procedural framework expert evidence in civil proceedings runs on: Wandsworth conservation areas; Wandsworth Article 4 directions; Civil Procedure Rules Part 35 — Experts and Assessors; Practice Direction 35 — Experts and Assessors; RICS Rules of Conduct. These sources support the area context; they do not replace inspection of the specific building, and the exact planning, conservation-area and Article 4 position should be confirmed with the council for the specific address.
