Hi,
You need to know and understand where the legal boundary is, as well as the planning requirements, and building regulations.
Also check your deeds/conveyances for any restrictive covenants and/or conditions, and any planning conditions with the site.
See: http://www.boundary-problems.co.uk/
The red line on the plans from the LR Title Plan are the General Boundaries to your property and not much use for resolving these kind of errors.
Also check your legal insurance is up to date.
And discuss with the neighbour - much cheaper and easier than going through solicitors unless necessary.
Good Luck.
JC

Hi again,
By 'shared border' I assume you mean legal boundary - the imaginary line of zero thickness that separates two properties (ie land).
Do you and your neighbour understand and agree on where the legal boundary between the properties is?
Do you share internal walls in your houses on the properties, and are they understood as party walls?
Party wall is complicated and there are two types - Type A and Type B.......
This is why this is a boundary issue and potentially trespass issue rather than a party wall issue.
Their build (and any oversail) should be their side of the legal boundary and subject to planning and building regs, etc. unless they have a formal agreement/licence from you for any of it to be on your land.
They can have foundations straddling the boundary, but complicated.
From what you say there are also issues of easements to consider, etc.
Thanks
JC
