So...how do I dig/pour the foundations for the wall for my extension

I think when I start digging at some point I 'might' hit their
foundations for their extension on my side of the property.

I hope that I have made the situation clear but also feel that I have
not!

So in general, if there is a wall sitting on foundations and you want
a new wall adjacent to it with zero clearance, but it's a neighbours
and you can't interfere with the current neighbours wall or
foundations....how do you build your wall?

Basically, you have the right to do so. See:

http://www.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1996/1996040.htm

and (more readably) the explanatory booklet, downloadable:

which is the explnatory booklet.

The Act covers precisely this case.
