hi
i wonder if you could help, my neighbours have built a structure for their kids, they have built in right next to our hedge, it stands aprox20ft high and wider, apart from invading on our privacy which we had a word with them about and they did block it off, now as the sun is appearing again it is blocking the sun , i would say more than half our garden is in shade now. The neighbours have acres of land, massive garden so why they thought it was ok to build it where they did beats me.
I just wanted to know if there are any restrictions regarding the blocking of sunlight into our garden.
Thankyou

if its a permenant structure i'm sure they need planning permission and they wont have that because the planning office would have sent you details asking for objections.
also if they can see into your garden from the structure i think you can have it removed for invasion of privacy. i saw something recently on the news about a kids climbing frame having to be taken down because the nieghbours complained about being overlooked
You may get more help if you post this in one of the 'Law' sections. What Nobby says seems reasonable though
