Yes, it's an invasion of privacy, but not illegal for non-businesses.

"Q: My neighbour has installed a CCTV camera and it is pointing towards
my house/garden. Is this a breach of the Data Protection Act?

If your neighbour’s camera is installed on their residential
property and being used for their own personal domestic use, they are
unlikely to be breaching the Data Protection Act. This is because the
use of CCTV cameras for domestic security purposes is exempt from the
data protection principles. This applies when a person uses CCTV to
protect their home from burglary, even if the camera overlooks the
street or other areas near their home."
