Actually "current use" does not protect you against something like this happening to you. "Current use" is a way to reduce your tax bill. It does not state that you can "never" develop the land. All that needs to occur is for the land owner to pay a fee to change its use.
In fact, since the land next to you is over 10 acres, you should be concerned about someone building something large next to you. Either from the Town (School, Fire Station, transfer station) or from private industry (manufacturing plant, gas stations...etc).
What you want to have next to you is conservation land... much more difficult to change its use.
