Boundary lines on deeds are only an indication. Any decent solicitor should have advised you when you originally bought the property that “Boundaries Walk” over the years/decades.
That’s why it’s important to get a Party Wall Agreement with your neighbour BEFORE you even put a spade in the ground.
Bit surprised that both the extensions shown on the photos have the second story right up to the boundary. Many councils will insist on the second floor being set 1m in.
Best to set your gutting so it lands inline with the boundary (not over it).
As somebody else mentioned there is a way to do this whilst keeping your outside wall right-up to the “supposed” boundary (but it is quite ugly IMHO).
Finally, are you sure you only want footings for a single storey garage? If you ever (or someone else) decides so go-up another storey, the whole lot will have to come back out and re-done to the correct depth (and width).
Ps. Planning permission is all about how a proposed development sits in the street, not the technicalities.
Good luck
