Our neighbours have advised that they are going to build a decking patio / balcony on the rear of the property. The amount of timber delivered is awesome. We are somewhat concerned about invasion of privacy. The properties are semi-detached on an incline, they are downhill from us. Their house has a small cellar (because of the incline) we do not. The result is that their kitchen patio doors are almost to the same level as our lounge and patio. Access from their kitchen to their garden as via a metal balcony and stairs which was installed by their predecessors. To avoid looking in to our property their predecessors erected a small wooden fence at our end of the balcony plus some honeysuckle. It has not been a problem. What now looks to be the case is that they will build an elevated patio which replaces the current metal stairs and will extend out in to their garden thus allowing them to look over our garden and back in to our house. This I believe is an invasion of privacy. Does anyone know please of any planning requirements aimed at preventing invasion of privacy which we can use to get them to alter their plans and we maintain the sanctuary of our own patio? Thanks.
