Do you need permission in Wick?
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.
Scottish energy standards for glazing, including rooflights, use an area-weighted average of 1.4–1.6 W/m²K in extensions, so most modern units comply comfortably. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
