hi,
A long story short, my neighbours have caused me a lot of stress with my building work currently so i want to make sure they are covered too.
1. They have now have changed their attached garage to a room. How do i check that they meet building regulations?
I checked planning portal but no application is under their house for change of use.
2. They have also built a wall both sides of their driveway (we are semi detached). The driveway is sloping so the wall nearest our porch is over a metre high and then is the same level to the front so becomes shorter. it is not tiered. is this allowed since the highest point (over 1m) is not near the road

3. Finally we drafted a party wall agreement and gave it to our neighbours but they haven't signed it. We did follow up with them a few times but they paid no notice to us. the work has almost finished now, should i be worried?
Any advice would be great.
Normally we wouldn't really care about point 1 and 2 since we are pretty easy going however they have caused us undue stress with our building work so i want to make sure where we stand.
Many thanks
