Installed safety grills but gotta notice from amc

Hello, I purchased a ground-floor home and installed safety grills in the backyard due to issues with monkeys and dogs, as well as a shorter dividing wall. Recently, my neighbor filed a complaint with the AMC claiming that we made an illegal extension. They now demand the removal of both the grill and the roof. I want to clarify that no actual construction was done; it's just the installation of the grill for safety reasons.
We don't want any action to be taken against them; we just want to know how we can prove that it is not an extension but rather a safety measure. Also, is it legal if we install Collapsible grill instead of a fixed one?
Any guidance or assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

If you have received notice from the authorities concerned, you may give a reply notice through your advocate denying their allegations.
you can express that this is not a structural change but just a measure to protect your house property from dog and monkey menace.
you can even invite them for inspection and conclude on it, if they still refuse to accept your explanation, then you can file a suit for injunction on the same lines, let the court decide.
