Yes we did - and in the chat today we discovered that she's going to be really reasonable about it and doesn't want to put us to extra expense. It helps that the architect lives on the same street as well, and that she built an extension about 20 years ago that the woman we bought the house off was very unreasonable about - she doesn't want to be like here.

Our neighbour seemed a bit concerned about our pending extension and the need for party wall surveyors etc.
I wasn't sure why until she came round for a chat and brought a sheaf of letters she'd been receiving from companies as soon as our planning permission came through.
I didn't realise there was such an ambulance-chasing industry around scaring people whose neighbours are getting work done into thinking it's going to be a nightmare.
