is Party Wall Agreement required before Planning Application ?

My neighbour is going for a single story extension at the rear of the building. He has applied for the planning permission. It is a mid-terraced house. There is a boundary wall between us. I asked him about what he is going to do with the wall. He is saying that we will see when starting the work 4 months down the line. He is not talking anything about party wall agreement.

Should I raise my concern now in the planning permission portal about the party wall agreement. If planning permission is granted by the local council, does that mean there is no need for party wall agreement.

    Party wall agreement is separate to planning permission.  It will not take place until planning permission has been granted.  My neighbour started the work without one and I had to complain to them that they needed one.  They were property developers as well so they should have known better.
