Planning and building rules for Campbeltown
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.
Scotland's Technical Handbook (section 6) asks for windows, doors and rooflights in an extension to average 1.4–1.6 W/m²K, with no single unit worse than 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 hinged roof access rooflights in Campbeltown
Can it replace an old loft hatch?
Where there is a flat roof above, yes. On a pitched roof, an access roof window is the equivalent.
How big does an access hatch need to be?
Big enough to climb through comfortably for the stair or ladder you have. For a stair, we size it to the stair width and the headroom; for occasional plant access a smaller hatch can work.

Units lock from inside. As with any rooftop door, keep it locked when the house is empty.
