to summarize:
Neighbor is building things on their property without permission and now wants to have them approved, but needs your consent because they have not complied with setback regulations.
Putting aside that it would not be beneficial to the neighborhood: why should you agree to this? what do you get out of it, except possibly having problems when selling later.
If you "should" agree to it, one could arrange that you also get some kind of benefit. e.g. more meters of setback construction or that they pay for the boundary hedge alone or something like that. bearing the consequences of their own stupidity (the setback regulations can be obtained from the building authority or read online) is much more than just neighborliness. also consider that they have already finished building and are under some pressure to get your permission.
