What are the consequences anyways? If it's just removal I'd say it's worth the risk, putting it up isn't going to cost much in terms of time or effort. Unless I'm drastically underestimating the chances of it being reported.

I think a complaint would be likely, but it depends on the neighbours. At my place, both our decks pretty much back into the fence, so if I went to the neighbours and asked them to add a foot or 2 they would probably be happy with it. If it just juts up in the one place and looks bad, the chances go up drastically.
Consequences are you lose a couple hundred bucks of lumber, lattice, etc plus your time and possibly face a fine.
A better, but more expensive solution, would be to put in columnar aspen as a privacy screen. Even smaller caliper ones are gonna be high enough to obstruct view, and narrow enough as they mature that they don't eat up a large chunk of the yard.
