Hi guys,
I am building a double storey home with PD in Hawkstowe South Morang. We had our tender appointment on Friday, which was largely positive.
One issue that came out of it was that apparently the upper floor windows within 3.5m of the side boundary must be of 'obscure glass' to prevent 'unreasonable overlooking' into adjoining lots (apparently a government/council regulation??)
I understand the reason for this, but driving around the estate, I haven't noticed any other obscure windows. Has anyone encountered this issue before, and how did they approach it? Obviously we would prefer not to have obscure windows (it costs more, and occasionally it would be nice to actually look out the window).
The side of our house (not garage side) is 1.8m from the side boundary, upstairs on that side we have two 700 high x 2410 windows and one 1200 x 1810 window on the rear wall (within 1.8m from the side wall) which also needs to be obscure.
I am interested in your feedback.
