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?

I can see how that niggles, but did you object to planning consent?

not much use but it might raise a smile, checkout:

and for anyone interested, chapter and verse on the right to light - or not!
