A new school is set to have frosted windows installed – because the neighbour is a naturist.

Council bosses unanimously agreed to install the glass after being contacted by Antoni Bogulak, 74, who revealed he liked to sunbathe naked.

He told a committee meeting he wanted to continue ‘sunbathing in the buff’ but didn’t want to cause offence to pupils or staff.

His home in Angus, Scotland, will be in the new £8.7 million building’s direct line of sight.


Retired Mr Bogulak said: ‘I have been a naturist for 40 years and if this one window is in the line of sight of my garden then it will affect my ability to occasionally sunbathe in the buff.



‘I have no need to cause offence so I would have no option but to stop being a naturist.

‘It’s something I enjoy. If I can lie in the sun for an hour with no clothes on, it’s better than lying in a tight swimming costume.’

Councillors accepted Mr Bogulak’s fears and attached a condition that the window in question, which would be positioned in the stairwell of school, be frosted over.

He lives with his wife, who he said does not share his appetite for naturism and added that his objection was ‘just about privacy’.

‘I wouldn’t want to worry anyone,’ he said. ‘But I obviously don’t want kids to be able to see through it and say “what’s that man doing?”

‘It’s not my intention to scare parents or anyone. I’m not particularly happy with where the school is going in general but I also don’t want to have to stop being a naturist.’

The school development is part of a multi-million-pound project to rebuild some of the town’s ageing primaries and will lead to a fall in the school’s capacity from 434 pupils to 335.

The plans are part of the second phase of the project, following the replacement Timmergreens and Warddykes schools which opened last year.
