Hm! that CCTV use is a very firm breach of the data protection act 1998.

Which part? Domestic installations are excluded from the code of practice on
CCTV and even systems that are subject to the guidance do not, necessarily,
have to avoid overlooking properties that are not intended to be covered by
the CCTV, although there are quite a few extra provisos if they do. About
the only relevant item I can find on the Information Commissioner's web site
is that, if your CCTV overlooks your neighbour's garden, you ought (as a
recommendation only) to consult with the neighbour first.
