that would be considered a similar use as class 3 of the exempted development classes

so once it complies with all the conditions of being exempt, then sure, why not:

I think it can be considered as a shed, garage, garden room etc

3m max height.
25 Sq. M max area.
Same for rear garden space.

Figures reduce if you have other sheds/garage on site.

They have a shed for them to do woodwork.

Caught them a few times looking over the fence into my house.

Can’t do anything about the sun.
Is the structure flat roof in nature?
Is it over 3m?

What do you mean by gazebo ?
Is it just an open structure ? , With a fabric or wooden roof , ? They could probably stand or sit there with out the gazebo and overlook your fence ... Is their garden at a higher level than yours ? There's not much you can do ,bar planting and that's likely to block your light ...

Pointed roof may fall into the 4m limit then for pitched roof situations.

Well it's not exactly pretty ,
Can you just stick some trellis on top of your fence ?
It'll break up any view ,without completely blocking the light , you could grow a deciduous climber up it as well , giving you more view blocker in summer and more light in winter ,
You could complain on planning grounds , a lot could depend on what's taken as ground level .. but just say they change the roof for a flatter one , you're still overlooked and now have agro with your neighbours ..

At least the plastic side sheeting isn't completely see through ,

Would that sheeting be considered a window for the purposes of planning? If so, does that limit the exemption?

No limit on window position relative to boundaries in garages, sheds etc
That limit is for extensions to the main dwelling only.

On a slightly lighter note, you got a great shot of the Death Star in the back ground
