Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Nov 30, 2021 9:49 am Hi , When I signed the contract with the builder all the glasses on the 2nd story were plain glass. There were already two houses already built next to mine .Saying that the builder said that now all widows need to be fostered except the front facing ones on the 2 floor . I can understand the two sides where my neighbors are but my concern is the back where there is nothing . Now there are two rooms at the back which does not face any ones property but a bit of the back yard of both my neighbors next to me.The back or the rear does not face any house as it is forest land and its a beautiful scenic view . Can any one let me know if there is a law or requirement that I should have frosted glass at the back of my second story when I do not over look into any ones bed rooms or rooms but may be a bit of the neighbors back yard . Any advice & help is appreciated Regards Re: Windows at the back rooms on the 2 floor 3Dec 01, 2021 2:11 pm Stewie D You need to look at your local council requirements for your particular area ( you don't say where you are ).

Thought its a same in Australia Regards Bryan Re: Windows at the back rooms on the 2 floor 4Dec 05, 2021 11:48 am Go onto your councils website under development application or maybe planning and have a look at the requirements for overlooking etc. Failing that take your plans into the council and ask to see a town planner and explain your problem.
