I can imagine that the neighbor gets more shade from a flat roof construction than from a house with a pitched roof and is therefore annoyed. I can understand that – but you still have the right on your side. Tough luck for him, he just has to deal with it.
As already mentioned here several times, it doesn’t necessarily help to accommodate the neighbor (we also invested a higher four-figure amount in a privacy fence requested by the neighbor only for him to apparently report us to the building authority afterwards because we had altered the terrain slope – which we did, but it was approved...). Therefore: strictly adhere to all regulations, but make use of what you are allowed to. Either the neighbor swallows the bitter pill eventually and you get a reasonably good relationship, or he keeps being difficult. There’s nothing you can do about that. You can still try to have a friendly conversation – I would too. But if you realize it’s no use, then that’s just how it is.
