Of course then there is the "bottom line", final say approval determined
by the AHJ which might be hard for this inspector to refuse your
clearances when he/she is asked to operate that switch and see that
there is zero issue with its safe and easy operation. AHJ's are allowed
to use common sense.

I'm meeting him tomorrow. He tells me it's too close but I can't get
him to tell me what an acceptable distance would be. It's totally
insane. I was pretty sure there was nothing in the NEC about this

code reference in his rejection letter so I could appeal it to the chief.

disconnects and there is no specific code of reference to minimum
space about the component (other than typical working space
requirements). Ask your AHJ to point to a code reference...

Yes, what others said - my understanding is that as long as
the door can open 90º then it's considered not in the way of
working space.
