Now the people that owned the house before us might have given written permission them to support on our wall.

The owner of the lane concrete and paved the lane. So he says.
The houses are 50-60 years old.

I would be grateful for any help or suggestions

The deeds to your house should contain a site map that will indicate any associated rights of way. Contact your solicitor for further info.
