2. Add Glazing to Gable Walls - the opportunity to introduce windows in gable walls is often overlooked when designing a loft conversion, yet it is a great way to introduce light. As with any window the cill must be 800mm above floor level.
A Gable window can be expanded so that the whole triangular gable wall is glazed, with a structural frame of timber and steel reinforcement where necessary. This can really add the wow factor to a loft room.
Glazing a gable wall is unlikely to be an issue oin forward or rear facing gable and may be classed as Permitted Developement.
New windows in a side elevation will always need planning permission unless they are obscure glazed with any opening part at least 1.7m above floor level.
