Thnx all, that’s v helpful, will chase planning and building control. In case the council is too slow (my experience hasn’t been great): can a party wall surveyor also stop building works if they’re notifiable? As they’re paid for by the other/building party, seems there’s not much to lose also engaging a party wall surveyor?

I'd say no, as I think that's a completely different process. I have no relevant experience, though. Please do report back on whether the council takes any meaningful action.
