I have a bungalow with enough roof height for a loft conversion, which would have a truly great view. But why is it that I cannot find any information whatsoever about having a conversatory in my loft? Is it totally out of the question?

How do you mean 'conservatory in the loft'?
Glazed terrace?
Glazed balcony?
You will not find a description of a connie in a loft because they don't exist.

Well perhaps they should!
A view is always better from a height and dormer or velux windows are designed to let light in, not to look out. Neither enhance the building.
With a gable roof from ridge height, why not floor to ceiling glass? If there's space, make it a sliding door exiting onto a terrace.
For increased viewing, a couple of very long velux windows on the gables.
You are simply talking about a loft extension with plenty of glazing. In terms of building regulations, a conservatory can only exist as an extension on the side of a dwelling separated by an external door. Once you remove the door the conservatory becomes part of the house and full regs apply, same as if you were doing it in the loft which, given most normal peoples idea of a conservatory, would be hard to attach to a loft!!! Now what are your questions?

Yes. Get yourself a pukka Architect to design you a glazed area for your roof space. He'll charge you a shed load of wonga, and tell you it's an "Orangery".
shop about m8t my architecht usualy charges about 75 pound for loft drawings as they are all differnt
Bargain!
yeah it is m8t you only get a drwing for that but its good enough to work to an get planning
Full regs are likely to apply anyway as I live in an AONB and if I can capture the view, it'll be worth the cost.
Now you're confusing planning with building regs.
Well everyone has to start somewhere and this was my first enquiry.
Sorry I'm not trying to be patronizing, its just not very clear exactly what it is you're asking.
Purely if its possible to have a loft extension which captures the view - something with plenty of glass and no dormer or velux windows.
