Skylight - Scotland

May 13, 2013 5 Replies

Hi



A. Does anyone know if a skylight such as the one linked below requires planning permission in Scotland?

B. This unit is actually a little wider than I would ideally like (it's for a small box room and will require cutting into old joists), but I've seen nothing slimmer. Google hasn't thrown anything hopeful up ...



Does anyone know of a reasonable supplier/manufacturer who'll take on a small one-off order for a narrower window?



TIA

It will need building control approval wherever it is in Scotland and might in addition require planning approval in a conservation area or listed building.

Any more help on this?

TIA

Ask the local planning department, re requirements.

It will require Planning Permission on the grounds that, just like a window, it could look onto and into someone else's property - or to rephrase that, some occupier could climb onto a chair and do so.

You mean just like windows and skylights often don't require planning?
