Whether or not your neighbor can buld a "spite fence" to restrict access to your home from maintenance purposes and the like depends upon what your local zoning department states with respect to set back issues with respect to structures and fencing.
As such, I suggest that you consult further with a real estate attorney with experience in dealing with the local zoning department in your community to assist you further on your matter.
