Good for him I say.

Consider looking at the encumbrances registered on your title. There might be a restrictive convanent on their for some kind of common building scheme. It may be the case that such a document would restrict certain things you could do to your own property. In the case of restrictive covenants that burden all the properties in a building scheme and are for the benefit of everyone in that scheme, then they may be enforced by anyone who is interested in the scheme (i.e., your neighbor).
Negotiating like adults is never a bad move, but before you begin to put your foot down make sure you have a legal leg to stand on. Order a copy of your title and get the encumbrances too. Probably about $5 a piece.
