Decided to pursue the original idea and lower the blind. Looking at the brackets they are actually screwed into the Upvc window frame. This was done by Hilarys Blinds so I am inclined to follow their lead and screw into the Upvc frame with the same screws.

Is it easy to screw into a UPVC window frame? Do i need to use a drill to make a pilot hole or can I just screw straight into it with my electric screwdriver? I take it the old holes can be siliconed in?

Pic of bracket attached.

Thanks again

Ok you know best.

Yes thats how Hillary's fit them 

The way is to drill a hole for each screw with a tiny diameter drill bit so the screws have something to bite on maybe 1/16th or 2mm 

You will need to do it carefully or you will snap the bit. 

Spirit level across the window.

There are very strong double sided adhesive tapes available.  I would use those to reposition initially, until you are happy with the location, then just drill a pilot hole into the window frame and use self tapping screws to hold it permanently in place.
