You're 'right'
(for once!

The right to light is protected under common law and, in England and Wales, by the Prescription Act 1832. It's a civil matter.
But, whilst the right to light is no longer covered under Planning legislation, the issue is more often than not raised in terms of a neighbour's 'right' to daylight and sunshine through someone making a planning application.
However, given the distance of any windows from where the screen may be sited, it wouldn't adversely affect any neighbours' enjoyment of light and sun.
Just get it put up and let's hope it will start showing some goals from Stanley.
