This feature is coming in iOS 11 (see iMore). From that page:
.. yes, now you can share that data with your family, with up to six people using one storage plan for backups, files, and photos. Presumably, each family member's files are only available to that person, unlike, say, Family Sharing of iTunes, iBooks, and App Store content.
What to do when you do not have enough storage because your backup size is too large:
- Delete the current backup on your iCloud for that specific iOS device.
- Your iCloud backup is now automatically turned off, so turn it back on.
- A new backup is made and has a reasonable size.
Theoretically your phone could crash in the short while you do not have a backup, so you could run an iTunes backup first.

Best Answer
There are two options for iCloud Photo Library: 'Optimize disk usage' and 'Downlaod and keep originals'. Optimize disk will delete original photos from your device and keep only thumbnails to free up space, while 'Download and keep originals' will keep originals in iCloud and on your device.
From what I know there is no easy way to delete photos from iCloud. If possible, the best option will be extending the iCloud storage.
If not, you can try the following:
Be aware that in this case you won't be able to use iCloud Photo Library as the storage will get full again. The only real optio is backing up photos to your computer (Image Capture on Mac or drag&drop with Explorer on Win), then delete photos from both device and iCloud.
Hope this helps.
