One wing comes close to boundary and I think they may have difficulty erecting it without taking down the fence and trampling my flowerbeds. Do I have to let them have access? (They didn't bother to show me the plans or consult me).

no...
but you might want to set down and talk with them. it is always better to work with the neighbours. don't need the trouble they could cause, do you?
set down and discuss it. make sure they put anything back in kind, you could have them post some security [like a cash bond] to protect you if they don't follow thru.
make some rules like hours of work, do's and don'ts, etc.
it is possible that there is an "easement" written into someone's deed, thereby giving them a right you don't know about. often a landlocked parcel is given the right to cross over another parcel to get to a right-o-way.
keep in mind that your property rights are from the ground straight up, meaning they cannot build a scaffold on their land that overhangs your property without your approval.
if this cannot be handled peacefully you need to call the building inspector and discuss your concerns with them.
good luck

I am afraid in today's society, general manners and decency are missing. If the fence is theirs and on their property, you're out of luck. Watch, and if and when the fence comes down, keep an eye on the workers and perhaps ask them not to enter your garden. Also you could ask your neighbors to show you the work permit (if you live in an area that requires permits for everything, like they do here in CA), If they need one and didn't get one, maybe you could use that as leverage of sorts. Anyway, good luck. :)

They may be able to remove the fence if the neighbor owns it. as far as going into your garden, thats still trespassing. If you see their contractor, ask them how they plan on doing the job. having bad feelings with a neighbor is not good. perhaps you could discuss this with them and make sure any damages to your property will be taken care of without legal action in the future.

i cant believe theres no set-back ordinance that would prevent them from building within 5 ft of a property line. they could have asked for a variance but they would have had to advertise the meeting . that would have been the time to check into it. here you cannot build within 5 ft. if thats the case where you live, that should give them room to build it...but no they cannot trespass without your permission...

Legally, no. However, not getting along with neighbors can be a nightmare. If it won't hurt your property, or be too big a burden on you, I would suggest you let them.

absolutely not, in the legal sense. But not all things should be resolved according to legal doctrine. Sometimes it's good to simply do the nice thing, provided they dont impinge on your privacy too much. Maybe negotiate the terms.

Come to an understanding with them. You wantt to see the plans and know how much of your place they plan to destroy. what they fix they also need to understand they have to repair.
