I believe the right to light only applies if you are constructing a building/extension which requires planning permission.

Found this link on a question in Home & Garden about planning and building regulations. It appears you are allowed to build a fence up to 2 meters in height providing it is not by a road where you are limited to 1 meter.
Hope its of some help to you.
