Sounds frustrating, but getting your own surveyor is smart/typical. Did you serve a Party Wall Notice? It's still needed under permitted development and usually requires one month's notice, maybe that's where that complaint came from?
Typically you'd have the informal chat (well before drawing anything), then you'd follow up with drawings and the official notice, then they have 14 days to respond (assent/dissent).

Yeah I can understand it, kinda, but the whole getting her own surveyor is a bit much and its more the fact she is a loon who can not communicate, she's mad, her understanding of the way the world works is unlike others, fruit cake, which makes my life harder.
I wouldn't expect anyone to not want some sort of agreement drawn up officially, it protects me as well as them, but work that doesn't even require planning permission isn't something you should be descending against.
I would honestly be more happy if she said "I don't trust your surveyor and I'm getting my own", but no, she runs away and makes things up like "third party agreements" and claims they take three months.
When we had the extension done we shared everything with her, took her through the plans and got the architects to do extra renders just for her, and she pretended to be fine with it until another surveyors letter dropped through our letter box.
I called round for her and asked why she had after all our convos and she replied "is that what you've heard?" to which I replied "No, its what the letter you sent says..." as she ran away.
Absolute fucking loon.
