Thanks for the replies,
spoke to planning today they had a complaint about a side window not being obscured and assumed it was the circled window,
which it was not it was ground floor kitchen windows,
apparently if he opens his landing window he can see my kitchen worktop and if i stick my chin on the worktop i can see his window.
Theres a 6ft 8" wall within a 1m of the windows, and you don't have to obscure ground floor windows anyway.
no work was carried out on side roofline before permission was granted on both plans
there was nothing else they were concerned about
it has creeped the misses out though so he may well of won
