Adding Additional Windows to 4 year old house

Does anyone have any experience of this?

My 3 bed townhouse has an en-suite bathroom and the main bathroom both on the top floor. The house is an end-terrace so whereas my neighbour's two bathrooms are against the joining wall and therefore can have no windows; my two bathrooms are against the external wall - but still have extractor fans and no windows.

The layout of the two bathrooms means that the area above both toilets would lend themselves to having windows knocked through - they would be about 50 cm in width. The next house (not joined on) is a 2 storey house so 2 obscured windows on my wall would not overlook anything more than their roof.

I've no idea where to start with trying to get this done - any advice welcome.

Thanks.
