Planning a ground floor extension. At present there is an extension which has a very low pitch 10 degree roof which is clear plastic. We want to do away with this and put a tiled roof with skylights, i understand that the absolute min for this really is 15 degree. I've looked at tiled lower pitches but you need kerbed skylights and we want flush. We are governed by the first floor window which are low.
A few questions:-
What is the minimum distance i need between the bottom of the first floor window and where the roof starts for the ground floor extension?
A 15 degree angle would bring the roof in just above the bottom of the window, so could I make a section of flat roof with lead where the windows are. Is this acceptable and will it look rubbish?
Alternativley, I could have a the flat roof for about 600m from the wall and then start the pitch roof. This would run the length of the extention Again is this acceptable and will it look rubbish?
I hope this all makes sense, and hopefully someone would have done something similar in the past.
TIA
