ONG,
Sorry, porch is not been deleted and ridge height will not change. I have planning for VELUX combi windows where some of the windw is on the vertical face of the wall and the rest is on the roof. So main change is changing combi windows to roof lights to upstairs. Might I add that there are only 2 bedrooms upstairs and each bedroom has a window on the gable wall so this would satisfy fire escape requirements.
My seperate query is if I was to go back in for planning with a new design but with sae footprint, floor area etc would I have to get a new site suitability test carried out?
