We've got an extension happening soon which is an extension on top of our existing extension. It won't be connected to our neighbours property but running alongside it, theres actually a slight gap between their existing extension and ours so nothing is built on any adjoining walls. Please see image. Will I still need a party wall agreement for this?

Are there any modifications to the ground floor foundations? pads for steel work etc?

No modifications to foundations, BC have signed off existing footings as suitable for another load. Only pads are for the steels that run within our property across the ceiling to take the load of the left side of the new storey.

Is there not a 45 degree angle consideration for the pad footings?

You mean for this section? My SE didn't calculate anything for that. Possibly due to the first floor structure being timber frame rather than block and brick .

My question was more if you are having pad footings close to the party wall that go to any depth to support either a box frame or goal post, the excavation for the footings may fall under the act if it is within 3m of the boundary and goes deeper than the neighbours footings or within 6m at an angle of 45 degrees.

Ah sorry, no, were not having padstones like that. The SE calculated using the existing extension walls to take the load, so no digging for new foundations. BC have signed off existing footings as adequate for another load so should be all okay.
 
Is the new steelwork being attached/supported by a party wall?
