A wealthy owner of a £5.75million townhouse in Primrose Hill, north London, has sparked a privacy dispute with neighbours after building a roof terrace without planning permission. The unauthorised structure reportedly allows people using it to see directly into the bathrooms and bedrooms of surrounding properties, prompting anger from nearby residents.

The dispute centres on the illegal nature of the works, which appear to have bypassed the necessary local authority consent required for such alterations in the area. Full details of the case, including the identity of the owner and the response from Camden Council, were not available in the supplied article text.
