Or reasonable neighbours could come to a reasonable agreement.
I reckon the neighbours have cocked up here as well (being kind to them), but it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they did this illegally. Is there anywhere where past planning applications can be viewed?

They may be getting upset about the legal avenue because it costs money, or because they know they're on a loser, or because it may highlight other work.

Very interesting, but not very pleasant, never nice falling out with neighbours. I fell out with neighbours previously because they kept blocking a driveway.

I would have thought deeds would be held somewhere and, yes, get it sorted asap. As soon as someone moves in it will no longer be their responsibility so it gets trickier. Also, this could result in your house having a lower valuation, not exactly fair.

Good luck and keep us posted.
