Hello I don't know if anyone can help...

We live in a semi-detached house and our adjoining neighbour has just
informed me that they are planning on building a conservatory next to our
boundary. The conservatory will be only 0.5m from our dining room window
and
will extend out 4m.

Friends are having the front of their bungalow extended. Have been refused
planning permission to go beyond the building line of other properties in
the road. In fact the row of properties is staggered so that each one is
slightly back from the other.
My understanding is that you have no rights to a view, or to light but the
planning people said it would change the appearance of the area and the
other residents should not have their view interrupted.
My neighbour recently had a conservatory built. The side wall - of brick, is
just inside his boundary but he says I can use it to build on if I wish.
Maybe you could do the same.
