Can my neighbour use my garage wall to form part of their extension?

The side of our garage wall is enclosed in our neighbours garden. Can they use our wall to form part of their extension or must they leave a gap? It is not a share or party wall it is within my boundaries, should I get a surveyor or seek legal advice?

They should leave a gap/ask them to see the drawings and check the wall design - also phone the planing (council) they will advise also.

Kind regards, Gareth
