Serious question, as this is my assumption. Will the information provided not be just the same as what is in our possession, and unclear? We have the title deeds in our possession. If what is supplied is any different I shall do it tomorrow.
To someone used to reading deeds it will be perfectly clear.Fermit The Krog and Sexy Sarah said:

Im not sure what you mean by "unclear". But even if they are, im assuming you dont have his deeds? With both in front of you, it would likely make much more sense. Do you deeds include he title plan? Thats usually pretty clear.

No they don't include his. That is a valid point, to acquire his, which I trust we're allowed to.
Anyone can get anyones deeds. Just go on the land registry website and buy them. It IS that simple. Hence why you keep getting asked why you haven't done it yet.Fermit The Krog and Sexy Sarah said:
OK. I missed the detail we can acquire his deeds, we'll get them bought. We have our own deeds.
Your land registry title entry will include a plan, as will his. Yours is probably the same as the deed pack you already hold, but for £3 each I strongly recommend that you get both.
I have asked before if your plan includes any of the front yard?
The other question is what you have access rights over. This would typically be in the form of a covenant, which will name the plot of land benefiting from the access and the land over which the access is granted, together with a plan of each.

Im half tempted to spend the £6 and 5 minutes to find out myself so i can relieve the tension of not knowing the answer.
I shall surmise that if you do so, you shall have better information than the OP shall currently possess. I shall further compliment Gavia (unusually) for the fact that he shall have had the perspicacity to raise the awareness of the term "shall" in a previous post.
OP, shall you be relieving monkfish1 of his need to determine what he shall believe to be the true facts? I hazard that he shall be relieved if you do.

OP, shall you be taking action on any of the advice which shall have been given in this thread, or shall you continue to mither about it until the neighbour shall decide that he shall commence building the structure that he shall desire, whereupon you shall potentially have less options to take action against that which you shall probably dislike?
Perhaps the OP should just email the solicitor who dealt with his purchase?
Something short and simple along the lines of....
Case/Account reference
Dear Ms/Mrs/Miss/Mr
Last year (or whenever it was) You very kindly assisted wife & I with purchase of our house, an end of terrace cottage in row of 4? (provide him with Rightmove link).
You may recall at the time of the puchase we discussed with you the status of the front gardens, whether they were individually owned, communally owned and what were the rights of access.
Our next door neighbour has expressed the wish to extend to the front of the property from the boundary with mine to X metres across and extending outwards by X metres.
My neighbour hasn't submitted a planning application as yet so I can't be certain of the effect, if any, on access to my property however, for a variety of reasons, mainly aesthetic and with a view to any effect on house values, I would rather he didn't proceed with the extension but despite discussing the matter he remains determined.
Naturally, I am aware that the planning process will allow me to comment and object.
However, I did wonder whether there may be more fundamental objections that could be raised to the proposed extension in terms of ownership of the land in front of our houses and rights of access?
Is this an area on which you could advise me?
If so, I'd be grateful if you could tell me what your charges would be and when would be your earliest availability to discuss.
Kind regards

Thank you, that looks pretty good. Sarah has down to London to see family and friends for the weekend, so I'll discuss with her on her return. Something short and simple along the lines of....
