Talk to your neighbour about it. Tell him that you use the lane.
I doubt if the Council could sell it to him .
I doubt if you could lose your right of way.
But you do need to check with a solicitor just in case it goes through by default, incompetence or fraud.

Neighbours! Sounds like they showed you little respect by seeking to do this without speaking with you, perhaps they figured you as the silent or quiet type who might not object for an easy life? Depending on your relationship I might be inclined to object and say nothing directly to them for now, let them hear back from the council the way you heard. Might send a clear message. Sometimes unfortunately this type of approach is needed with neighbours.
Though as next door neighbours I would be careful as things like noise, etc, can be used. Probably I would still lean towards mentioning it to them, though you know your neighbours best and can decide the best tactic.
Theres quite a few things in the OPs post that i dont really get. Ownership of a lane is one thing.A right of way to use the lane is something else. Just because someone buys the lane doesn't necessarily mean that they can block your access. From what you tell us its very possible that you have acquired right-of-way rights over the lane through useage over a number of years. Check your title deeds or ask your solicitor to check them and to give you advice.
