Due to start my self build shortly. Have obtained planning for a traditional 2 storey house but initially designed to have traditional cut roof with purlins. I now want to use the attic space for the master bedroom with ensuite which can be achieved easily. I know from initial discussions with the L.A. that they would not want dormers to the front elevation, conservation area. Here I can use velux windows, however someone has suggested that they are noisy compared to dormers, so do I put dormers on the back, or use velux as well. Does any one know if I need planning permission for velux windows/ dormers.
