- The applicant is reminded of the following: - (a) that any window located on a wall or roof slope forming a side elevation of the dwellinghouse shall be: (i) obscure-glazed; and (ii) non-opening unless the parts of the window which can be opened are more than 1.7 metres above the floor of the room in which the window is installed.
