 Residents in one neighbourhood in Brooklin Ontario are fighting to keep their privacy and sunshine.  A developer has plans to build new homes in the subdivision and home owners that would back on to the new home are concerned by the lack of privacy they will have since the new homes would be taller.  Due to drainage issues the elevation of the new homes has to be changed therefore making the homes sit higher up than originally planned.  Current residents do not like the idea of the new neighbours having a clear sight into their backyards or by the shadow the home will create on their own yard.
