A party wall is a wall located on or at the division line between adjoining premises and used by adjoining landowners in the construction or maintenance of improvements on their respective properties. Generally, each owner of adjoining lands on which a party wall stands owns the part of the wall that stands on the owner's land and has an easement on the other part. Party wall interests are dependent on the terms of an agreement between the adjoining landowners. Unless the party wall agreement provides otherwise, the duration of the adjoining owners interests in the wall ordinarily continue as long as the wall stands. Party wall easements are terminated on the accidental destruction of the wall and, under some circumstances, on substantial changes in conditions of the neighborhood. The terms of the party wall agreement can provide for termination under other circumstances.
Since a party wall easement is an interest in land, it may be created by express deed drawn and executed with the same formalities as any other deed to real estate, or by a deed provision granting or reserving party wall interests. A contract, or provision in a contract, may also operate to create party wall interests. The following form is a general form establishing a party wall.

FAQ
If they fail to reply they are deemed to have dissented. If they dissent you should send them another letter stating they must appoint a party wall surveyor within 10 days or you will appoint one on their behalf.
Your first and most straightforward option is to simply give consent for the proposed works to go ahead as planned. You must give your consent in writing that you allow work to continue as agreed. This will most likely be the case if works are minor and not expected to affect your property.
Give consent in writing. Refuse consent starting the 'dispute resolution process'. Issue a counter notice, requesting that additional works be carried out at the same time (something they will be required to pay for if they will be benefiting from the work, such as repairs to the shared wall).
It's a legal requirement for you to fulfil your obligation to Adjoining Owners if the work you wish to undertake is covered by the Act. It's worth double-checking with an experienced party wall surveyor whether this applies to the work your planning before you start.
If a Building Owner does comply with the Act but the building works go beyond the scope of the party wall award and causes loss or damage to the Adjoining Owner, either, the building owner may be sued for damages in trespass or nuisance (as above).
The cost of a party wall surveyor depends on where you are in the country and how much work they need to do. The average project typically costs around £1,000 for a Party Wall Agreement. But this can rise depending on the complexity of the project and the number of surveyors involved.
You must tell your neighbours, provide them with a Party Wall Notice and come up with a Party Wall Agreement in writing. If you use a builder or an architect then they should be able to advise you on this, although they will not serve the notice for you.
What should the party wall notice include?Give the name and address of the people doing the work ('the building owner').Be signed, either by the building owners or their authorised representative.Be dated.Be served on all neighbours ('adjoining owners') as defined by the Act.More items...?
If a neighbour feels that the work being proposed requires planning permission, they can object to the work on these grounds and approach the local planning authority. Refusing to give consent to a party wall agreement is known as dissenting.
The short answer is yes; your neighbours are within their rights to refuse consenting to works.
