Can the neighbor just look into my garden?

Questioner

My neighbors installed a dormer window. This allows them to look directly into my backyard, significantly reducing my privacy. Is this allowed?

Questioner

The question is whether the "view" leads directly into your garden. Not diagonally or anything like that, but directly. If this is the case, you have the right to speak up. Furthermore, you should have been contacted about the installation of the dormer before construction, so you could express your objections. In short, I have a few more questions I'd like answered. You can also contact me directly.

Thank you very much for the response. My neighbors didn't inform me about the dormer installation. Just before the work began, my neighbor came to my door to inform me that there might be some noise due to the bathroom renovation. I can't say whether the view is directly into my garden. I find that very difficult to judge. Could I send you a photo of the new situation?

If you contact me directly I can provide you with further information
