I'd like to buy, and build a side-return extension on, the house in the attached picture (I know, it looks unglamorous from the rear, but I promise you it's not a bad house!). The extension would be within permitted development rights.
As you can see from the picture, the neighbouring property has also had a side return extension built (in a conservatory style) with windows facing the boundary. That means that if I built the extension I want, the neighbouring extension's side windows would be completely blocked from any light (they'd face a brick wall a few inches away).
Would there be anything to prevent me from doing that? I appreciate it would most likely mightily annoy the neighbour, but frankly even if I weren't wanting to build an extension I would still want to block those side windows with fencing purely for privacy reasons (they look straight into the glazed kitchen door of the property I hope to buy).

Neighbouring extension goes right up to the boundary. Can I block its side windows?
