Hey folks
Hoping some engineers/ architects out there might have a view on a query I have.
If you have a single storey dwelling , with upstairs bedrooms in roof space with Veluw Rooflights only (built day one as opposed to an attic conversion) should these upstairs bedrooms comply with Building Regs Part B in terms of means of escape (ie size of window, height above floor level, ceiling height over 50% of room etc).
lets say the house has planning for the design. 2 bedrooms in the upstairs so therefore its a 5 bed house with planning.
But if the rooms upstairs do not comply with the above regs, then is it not a 3 bed house with upstairs storage (similar to the way most attic conversions are classed for Opinion on Compliance with Building Regulations purposes).
look forward to your thoughts
