'Janice',

Planning permission or not, it is too late to rock the boat now and I
mean that in the nicest possible way.

Regards,

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.

Check that they have actually built strictly according to planning
.........you have 4 years in which to complain if they havent

We found out 23 yrs later that our neighbours house has been built too close
to the boundary
wish we had seen the plans but stupidly we trusted the planners back in
those days
