Does a kitchen need to have a window, with natural light.
Presume it need have no specific outllook, could a roof window suffice ?
Could a 'light tunnel' help in this regard ?
And any requirement would need to satisfy both Planning and Building Control.
This defines a habitable room under BC:
Would the planning side fall on what Local Plans say, or is there National Guidance ??
I understand that the kitchen needs to have sufficient ventilation, whch can be via an openable window or an overhead extractor.
