Walthamstow: rooflight loft conversion under PD

The brief

Add light and a study space with minimal external change.

PD question answered

Are rooflights permitted development?
Yes, if they do not project beyond the existing roof plane and respect height limits.

Constraints

• No projection beyond roof plane
• Maintain existing roof appearance
• Internal layout constraints

What we did

• Used low-profile rooflights
• Planned the layout to maximise daylight
• Documented compliance for clarity

Outcome

Extra space with a subtle exterior and a clean PD route.
