Thanks. At what point would I engage a PW Surveyor? Is that post planning?
When I went through conveyancing I was told I own the left fence. It wasn't exactly a legally binding document though, it was just the previous owners view as to who maintains what. I have replaced at my expense the entire garden length over the last summer.
That would be a game changer in itself. Will add it to my note.
What point did you engage the party wall surveyor? Was it post planning or during?
In my links above, they give a timescale. The earlier the better. There is nothing stopping you from raising it with the neighbour now. It's completely independent from planning so you can deal with each separately and at the same time.
