Hi Ron, I didn't mention "community" that was the OP, but I'm sure your right about the Property law, The architect I spoke to said the permitted height was raised to 2m a few years ago. We stopped at 1.6 at one end and 1.9 other end.
Interesting, I'll need to check with our Administrator if so our standing orders need updated

Does anybody if the are any regulations on heights of dividing walls where on neighbour is lower that the other ?
I’d have thought that a height of 1.8/2m from their perspective would be legal.
Put another way, deduced from what you describe, your property is 1m lower than your neighbours and their 2m wall creates a 3m wall for you which you hope might be illegal?
Now, if the difference in property heights was 2m and, to satisfy your 2m maximum, they would be denied any barrier as building even a 50cm wall would exceed your tolerance.
I understand that, from your point of view it may seem excessive but I’d put that down to the inconvenience of living on the side of a hill.

You are lucky half way down my dividing wall they have built it up more than 3m and it is a music room. Didn't ask me but they said they had permission. Looks horrid from my side as 3/4 off wall one height the it zooms straight up to this extra height.

Do you need a license to raise your dividing wall

Hi Forshy,
As you said you don't live on a Community, you can check the planning restrictions at the Town Hall (some people on communities often contravene planning law, because they assume that community permission is sufficient when, in fact, they need Town Hall permission as well). Your neighbour would need at least a Minor Works Licence (Obra Menor), but may even need a Major Works Licence (Obra Mayor).
A friend's neighbour has built up their dividing wall from 1.8m to 2.5m, without agreement of my friend, so he's submitted a denuncia at the Town Hall - not helpful for his neighbour who increased the height of the wall, because the neighbour wants to sell the property and can't do so while there's a denuncia against it.
Good luck!
Paul

Hi Paul
Thanks for that, I do live on a community and the community are saying as it has been agreed by the community on other properties that is the president, but our neighbour has never discussed raising the dividing or had our agreement.

Go to town hall or police they will check if they have a licence for said work, its the police who can ask to see the licence if a neighbour complains

Thanks for that
Do you know which department I need to contact to check if a licence has been given ?
