Hi
Just wanted to check something out from a legal(and moral) perspective. Our neighbour who is a cantankerous ol' lad who has caused nothing but trouble for our family (objected twice to our approved planning application to ABP and got it overturned on dubious grounds), harassing my wife's Mum in any way he can... its a long list ... has just installed CCTV cameras overlooking a fair portion of our garden and a neighbouring strip of land which is in our name.
My main concern here is invasion of privacy. My 4 kids (aged 8 down to 2) play in this area of the garden and I am uncomfortable with the potential that this system could record them while they play - especially with the summer coming.
I can't approach the neighbour directly as relations are frosty to say the least. I suppose my main questions are:
Is what he is doing legal?
Do I have any way to get him to remove the surveillance equipment?
Any comments are welcome.
Thanks
