My neighbour sold me a section of her garden with the remains of a
shed that had been there for nearly 20 years. Over the last three
years the shed had fallen down, been cleared, and only the
concrete foundations remained. The area being used for storing
firewood. This section of garden is overlooked by another property
which has a planning restriction saying the window at the rear is to
be obscured glass to prevent overlooking the adjoining property. Does
this planning restriction still apply now that the adjoining property
it once related to, is no longer the adjoining property. Instead it is
my garden land that it overlooks. I wish to re-instate the shed on the
existing foundations, but within the last three years, this neighbour
has replaced the obscured windows with clear ones. So will now look
out at the shed, and does not want his view obstructed! A view he was
never supposed to have. Is that planning restriction no longer valid,
due to splitting the land? This garden land is no longer attached to a residence.
Thank you
