Section 3: Views onto a neighbour's property

One of the neighbours may not, without the consent of the other, make any window or opening in the party wall, in any manner whatsoever, even with fixed glass.

The owner of an unpartitioned wall, immediately adjoining the inheritance of another, may make in that wall days or windows with meshed iron and dead glass. Such windows shall be fitted with an iron lattice, the mesh of which shall not exceed one decimetre (approximately three inches eight lines) in aperture, and with a sash with dead glass.

Such windows or days may be established only twenty-six decimetres (eight feet) above the floor or ground of the room to be lighted, if on the ground floor, and nineteen decimetres (six feet) above the floor for upper floors.

No person may have straight views or windows of appearance, nor balconies or other similar projections on the enclosed or unenclosed inheritance of his neighbour, unless there is a distance of nineteen decimetres between the wall where they are made and the said inheritance, unless the land or the part of the land on which the view is exercised is already encumbered, for the benefit of the land which benefits…

Under the same proviso, side or oblique views cannot be had on the same inheritance unless there is a distance of six decimetres.

The distance referred to in the two preceding articles is counted from the outer facing of the wall where the opening is made, and, if there are balconies or other similar projections, from their outer line to the dividing line between the two properties.
