Neighbour being a bell-end

What's the steel post for?
One would hope not for hanging a gate against, don't fancy a single skin wall supporting a steel gate.He might have more than your coping stones on his drive.
Hopefully, it's just the closing bar on that side and the gate is being hung from the other side?

It depends where the exact land ownership boundary is. You have deeds?
Not to that degree - they show that we own the wall, not that we can't have a 1cm overhang onto his property.I would have thought that its reasonable that a wall that did benefit the pair of us, could have a 1cm overhang onto his side. There again - I never commissioned or built it.
Does bell-end behaviour equal criminal damage or does it just quantify that he's a bell-end?

Demand a party wall agreement via solicitor's letter, then he'll have to tell you his intentions
If the wall belongs to the OP, like he says, then it won't be a party wall.Even if the wall was a party wall, then it's doubtful that a party wall agreement would be necessarily required anyway.
How do you know the overhang wasn't taken into account when your wall was built and it's all on your land? it's a common sense thing to do given that people can be bellends,as you've found out.
Maybe when the wall went up the neighbour was a bellend, so it was all on your land? Have you any way of getting an idea of that, probably not? But your neighbour won't be able to prove it either.

That does happen sometimes but it is then documented very well, i.e. in Deeds, plans, Land Registry, a sign on the wall itself, etc, as clear evidence so that a dispute can be avoided in the future.Maybe when the wall went up the neighbour was a bellend, so it was all on your land?
