My latest plan .... original house layout below my mad idea. Reasoning - if I do a flat roof, this is possible under permitted development, which means nobody can stop me (other than my bank manager). Two advantages of this: we get a bedroom that overlooks the garden with nice Juliet window (120 foot garden, not over looked at back either). We remove pitched roof above kitchen and flatten, put in 2 dormers (5-6m) each side, leaving just a little of the original roof to replace - the original roof is old, some past woodworm, no felt, generally about time it was replaced. So, the office space will be "Velux" only, but will also have a window to front on gable. Stairs and bathroom will have obscure glass windows.
Might actually reduce the size of the downstairs extension, as this was the plan before doing the loft. Don't need that much space, could easily lose one of those middle rooms.
Surveyor confirmed the house have never been extended, so can go back 8m under PD.
