    There seem to be two separate issues (well 3 including the gate).

    * your right to install the window. Permitted Develeopment? Planning Consent? Valid objection by neighbour?

    * your right to go ontoher land todo the installation.

    Access to Neighbouring Property Act 1992

    Even just reading the first couple of paragraphs of that indicates that the chances of an access order are anywhere between nil and not a hope in hell

    That's a long tunnel!


    IMO they're pants at the best of times, but maybe tolerable if there's no other option.

    Could be a bungalow with a loft room for all we know.

    .............................................................................

    As long as the is Permitted Develeopment its not to hard to do it from the inside.

    Is it a narrow walkway or something she may want to build on one day, or future owner.

    Hello,
    Our neighbour who we thought we had a good relationship with just refused us access to their land to fit a window on the ground floor......

    Sounds like it isn't though. ^

    I live in a bungalow. For fairly obvious reasons, I never refer to "the ground floor."

    You win, I did forget the OP said "the ground floor" :doh:
  • First an obscured window, then someone wants to change the window ... I'm not sure I would be happy either to be honest. Although I definitely wouldn't be happy with holes in my bricks - that's much worse.

    As it was going to be obscure glass maybe consider something like Ikea Floalt light panels and create a fake window
