The range of criteria is expected to include both light and sunlight
deprivation to homes and to gardens,

What niggles me a bit, though, is my neighbour on one side has built a
garage right along the fenceline, and my neighbour on the other side has
built a two-storey extension along the other fenceline. Both structures
block light from my garden, in a big way. Don't get me wrong -- I do have
sympathy for those who have towering trees blocking their sunlight, but how
come I don't have a right to light and sunlight?


Check if both had planning permission.
