Questioner

Hello, My neighbors are planning to build a 2.5 meter extension behind their house. this will mean for me that there will be considerably less light in the house. I also expect that in the summer the temperature will be a lot higher in the garden while there will be less sun. in other words, less living pleasure. what can i do with this?

That is not directly unlawful nuisance of neighbours, there must really be structural and serious sun and daylight being taken away from rooms that matter most, i.e. living room. I can test your specific situation on the case law regarding this subject. I assume that your neighbours are allowed to build on without a permit.
