I he's not watching then cut it off.
Hi
Speak with your neighbour and see if he has any objections to you utilising his boundary wall as one of your walls! If he agree's you will save having to build one wall, but you will need to use what used to be called a crocodile tie to tie your walls to his.
If he disagree's just build a wall about 1" away from his and use his protruding footing to build your wall from - shout as much as he like he unlikely has your permission to have built the foundation on your property!
Good Luck
