Answer

Can I build a wall on the boundary line?

You can, but it is best agreed with the neighbour, and the Party Wall Act may apply.

In short

You can, but a wall built right on the boundary is usually a shared concern, so it is best agreed with your neighbour, and the Party Wall Act may apply if it is a shared structure. Many people build just inside their own boundary to avoid the issue. The height limits still apply either way.
