You can get an injunction for your neighbour to halt all works immediately, under the premise that he is in contravention of the Party Wall Act.
I'm sure there will be plenty of guidance on the internet plus other NSCers who will verify that there should be a written 'Party Wall Agreement' with you that is intended to protect your rights and records the condition of the boundary before any works commence, ensures it is not adversely affected by the works and that any remedial action / making good will be at their expense. Secondly your neighbour is liable for the bill if you choose to employ a surveyor of your choice.
Hopefully you will have been consulted if planning permission is required, although a lot is now allowed under 'permitted development rules'. Then there should be Building Control approval and inspections during the works with a final inspection and issue of a BC completion certificate that it was built in accordance with the Regs. Your surveyor will verify this to your satisfaction.
Do you have the deeds? Whose side is it?
Not so, if its a conservatory there are no Building Regs required, so no completion certificate also.
Would a Party Wall agreement be required for a conservatory? Could affect the integrity of the boundary and therefore shouldn't the neighbour's rights should be afforded similar protection?

I have recently built a extension up to the edge of my land Surely if my neighbour wanted to do he same, he'll have to ask permission to use my wall as a party wall. Am I correct?
Thanks. Put my mind at rest as there's no way I'd let them use the wall due to noise..Correct. The right and proper thing for you to have done was to approach the neighbour at that point and give your neighbour the right to contribute some of the cost of that wall, so he could use it in the future and you have your compensation in first.
