Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Building over Easement

We own an easement to construct a driveway through the neighbor's property. He is proposing to build a driveway across this easement. The drive is on very steep slopes and would required many cuts and retaining walls. This design would prohibit our use of the easement should we chose to in the future.

Thank you.
