I am in exactly this position. We got a basic party wall agreement template from our architect and bobbed round to chat to each neighbour. We are on decent 'stop and chat for 90 seconds' terms with both.
One set of neighbours returned the form immediately, including a permission for us to remove one of their chimneys. Top neighbours. 10/10
The other one thinks that a party wall agreement gives her the right to comment on the layout and aesthetic. It is all in Permitted Development so there is no planning requirement beyond a certificate to say that what we are doing doesn't need planning permission.
She doesn't like the type of roof tiles we are getting.
So now I am in the awkward position of having to humour her and keep her sweet so I can get that signature, while at the same time letting her know that she has absolutely no fucking say over what we are planning beyond a yes/no to putting a steel in part of the wall we share.
