When their builder was applying for their building permit, they question would of been asked about existing houses/vacant blocks....even if your house was under construction at the time, obscure glazing and rescode windows wouldn't come into it. Re: privacy from 2 story neighbours!! 18Oct 20, 2010 2:59 pm Thanks to everyone who has responded...has given me lots of things to think of. I understand that's what happens when building in a new estate...just had my fingers crossed it wouldn't happen to me!! The upstairs windows aren't obscure glass but it is their bathroom etc so I assume they will want the privacy too! I'm sure it will all look different once there is a fence between us... atm it just looks like a castle towering over the servants quarters!!

I often look out our bedroom window (which is a high window) as we have a great view of the golf course at the moment. From their bathroom, they can then look down into our laundry... so must remember that when I am in my PJ's putting washing on, hanging out the washing, or feeding the cat!!
