Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in St Andrews
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 3.3 W/m²K. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in St Andrews
Can I cancel a bespoke order?

Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
