We live in a semi-detached bungalow. It overlooks a huge field - and then just more fields for the next two miles. A few years ago we wanted to build a conservatory. The only place to put the conservatory was at the end of the building which meant that it would cover a neighbouring wall. We asked our neighbour at the time if we could build directly on to his wall and he refused, saying that he wanted to put windows in that wall.
He refused us permission to build against his wall (and we had agreed that we would then maintain that wall). So, we had no choice but to build the conservatory not using his wall. It has left us with a much smaller conservatory and the new occupants with a problem maintaining their boundary wall.
I would point out that where we only built a conservatory, he already had an extension - these are really small properties!
He didn't have the 'right of view.'
And nor do we! At the moment we have the wonderful view across the fields - but if the owner of the field sells?
Give us all some more information and maybe we can explain more.

When I lived in California I did pay a "View Tax" issued by the state. It seems I had an unobstructed view of so many degrees and it also seemed the state owned that view so I had to pay for it. It's true, if the government can find anything to tax you on, it will. Our monetary value is based on the ability to tax it's citizens. One day this will all stop when the people have had enough. The government seems to forget why we are here in this land to begin with.

The greatest form of tyranny is to force someone to pay for something with which they disagree. Paying for air is probably several years away, but I do believe it is coming. Probably some sort of global U.N. tax or fee. They'll call it "Biologic Necessity Tax" or something similar, and it will cover not just air but many other plentiful tangibles and intangibles that are difficult to tax.
I wonder how much we will, and can, accept.

as for city dwelling people anything is possible. I would not pay. I know that in some places the communities has ordnances that prohibit some things , like non moving cars and stuff like that. so I guess it does cost for the view to someone.

When our world becomes crowded, we pay for space.
When free drinking water is not available, we pay for bottled water.
these are the things we already accept a things you buy.
When clean air becomes a rarity, you'll pay for it.
Another thing that as yet is "free" is the right to continue living, but one day we'll have to pay for life, or be trashed/removed.
Save now so you can pay later.

The rarer something becomes the higher the price.
