As this discussion is about UK specifics, I thought it would be a good plan to reach out to the talk-GB list.

There are exceptions to this, which include "Land on which there is a house, caravan, tent or other place affording a person privacy or shelter, and sufficient adjacent land to enable those living there to have reasonable measures of privacy and to ensure that their enjoyment of the house or place is not unreasonably disturbed."
