extension next door - attaching stuff to wall?

I think it was the parent's neighbours who piled the soil. If the wall collapses they will be responsible but I'm not sure if they can be forced to remove it now. Though I think it would a good idea to get them to come round and see the bowing wall.

Could one not take photos of the pile and the wall as it is now, for future 'evidence' ?

My neighbour recently approached me asking if he could knock down the current wall between our property (which is half/half either side from what i can see) to build a sun room.

While I've no problem with him doing that, he wants to have the exterior of the new cavity wall further in to my garden so the whole wall sits bang in the middle. But then this will mean if I ever get an extension built I am going to have less room due to having his outside inside my garden?

Only thought about this after discussing it with someone at work whos extension is nearly a foot shorter inside than his neighbors due to the neighbour building first and over the boundary.

Neighbour is sending his builder around to talk to me first about how they want to do it as he wanted to remove and shorten my fixed awning which sits inside my garden to make room for the new wall, support for awning sits on top of the joined wall my side and said that would be my cost/problem???

Where precisely is he allowed to build this wall to? Not wanting to agree to anything that comes further in than current wall and id rather it was bang on edge of boundary, can see this causing neighbour hassle but don't want to snooker self with wall that will reduce size of any extension I build.

Actually this is a bit off topic, sorry...
