I'd be interested how you know so much about the neighbour's situation.

Have you seen their tenancy agreement, how do you know that they haven't got building regs approval (any number of people can sign off works), how do you know that they haven't got insurance, or that the anyone will make them take it down?

It appears that you 'know' very little. 

The best course of action was to contact Building Control and Housing Association as soon as works

commenced.

What will you do if the works have been signed off and fall under permitted development?

Why do you think the OP should tell you how he knows about his  neighbours situation.l?

Do you know that he hasn’t checked the council planning and building regulations register?

It appears you know very little about what the OP knows. 

The project might well fall under permitted development, in which case no planning consent is necessary and there would be no record.

The project might have been signed off by a competent person, that could take months to show up on local BC records.
Or the works might not be complete, in which case sign off could be years away.
We don't know, just as OP doesn't, even if they have made enquiries.

None of which entitles you to know what he knows or why.

OP, any surveyor is highly unlikely to inspect the planning portal (and any building regs portal that your local council may have) to view any relevant documents for a neighbour's property. 

They are also very unlikely to start making any intrusive inspection holes in your property to check whether there's any impact from your neighbour's works.
