Being right... getting your rights... enduring the time until then passes and having to live your whole life with a grumpy neighbor...
I'm no expert, but where is something like this settled? That a parking space is refilled to its original level when you dig it up beforehand?
I'd be interested, because the neighbors around me are also playing funny games with the terrain right now. Maybe I can say then, "Friend... you have to catch that if you think you're going 50cm below my ground here, not me..."
I have no right to see the neighbor's building plans for their property before I start my considerations, do I?
Are there really courts that, if in doubt, meaning if the garage is muddy after 3 years, say "Yes, Mr. B., but that's really your own fault..."?
You have to have L-bricks installed anyway. And if you do it all in one go, the whole heavy stuff only has to be moved once to set the approx. 1.8-ton L-bricks (my car weighs less, even including me... I fear it takes more than 100 butter sandwiches) into place. Can't you agree with the neighbor somehow and share the costs or something?
And about the neighbor blocking off... I always believe in the good in neighbors... maybe he simply doesn't have the money right now? It's happened before that builders are completely broke after moving into the house. Correspondingly tense is then the mood when "wealthier" neighbors ring the doorbell after 2 weeks and want to talk about sharing the fancy designer fence for 25,000 EUR on the shared border in a brotherly way. I don't know your neighbor.
Also, big cars in front of the door are not always a sign of insane wealth, because they might have been bought or leased before the ruinous construction project. You guys are probably the best judges of where your neighbors stand financially, if at all.
And in the end always the advice that rarely comes here, because the forum users do not have to live next to your neighbor.
In doubt, you have this neighbor forever... whether you want to mess things up now... you have to decide ;)
