Can i place scaffolding on the adjoining owners property under the party wall act
You generally cannot place scaffolding on an adjoining owner's property without their consent. The Party Wall Act allows you to carry out work on or near the boundary, but it doesn't automatically grant the right to access a neighbour's land. You would need to seek permission from the adjoining owner to place scaffolding on their property.
Do you need more details on how to obtain this consent?
