The recent relaxation of loft conversion permitted development
stipulates the requirement for side-facing windows to be
obscure-glazed.

Is there a definition for the required degree of obscurity? Also,
which way is it supposed to work? Can I fit one-way glass so that
nobody can see in?

I'm missing some thing here. What's so special about a window in a loft
conversion compared with a window elsewhere in the house wrt
Peeping Tomery.

It is in regard to preventing peeping tomery. Adjacent properties have the
right to privacy, and to stop near by buildings from being able to look into
your property, the planning consent needs to know that you are not a
pervert, or for you to have any glass obscured to stop even accidental
perving. It also helps prevent others from perving into your rooms when
you're in a state of romantic embarrassment. :-)
