They cannot deny changes that are not prohibited by deed restrictions, CC&Rs, or city/county/state/federal laws. If they do, they open themselves up to litigation because they are acting capriciously and the homeowner can point to similar projects that were approved.

What you are advocating is that the neighbor should subjugate their enjoyment of their property to protect your enjoyment of your property.
Well explained!!
