Blocking of landing/bedroom windows -against building regs?

[LJE]

When I moved into my 3-bed house 6 years ago, I blocked up the windows (skylights?) above the bedroom/bathroom doors with plasterboard. These allowed natural light onto the landing. I have no other windows on the landing - with the only natural light coming up the stairs from the front door.

My neighbour says this is against building regs-are they right?

No, your neighbour is an idiot. Tell them I said so!

you need a window in a bedroom in a modern construction but no other stipulation

Ask them for proof it does not comply. I'd like to see this

Thank you-I tried looking it up on the internet and couldn't see anything relating to this, so thought I'd come on here to see what response I got-thank you - what a relief
