Surely in this case the home owner was granted a permit, and did the permitted work, so he is not to blame.  The person/department who issued the 
permit is in error, so it should be their responsibility to correct - and pay for - that error?  And was the neighbour not given the chance to object 
before the permit was issued?  (This happens here - I have received a notice from the council about an application to build a rail freight terminal 
about half a mile away - it tells me how long I have to raise any objections - if I miss that boat, I don't get another chance).
