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).

Cheers for the input. Yeah have been very open from the start, sent the first informal email about it a month or so ago.
Getting your own surveyor feels like a dick move as your default imo.

What works are needed that involve the party wall act?

For anything more than some flashing details, I'd always recommend the adjoining owner appoints their own surveyor. I know party wall surveyors are supposed to be impartial and act for the wall but in reality this isn't often the case.
