    Does anyone know if you need planning permission to install 4 Velux mini dormer windows in at attic at the back of the roof ? The Velux.ie site says its possibly not needed, but seeing conflicting info everywhere on the net.

    THanks

    Yes. These are a specific planning requirement as they open into a balcony.
    I’ve seen them get caught before and the enforcement section wouldn’t settle for the bottom panel being fixed in places as it was deemed that they could just be opened back up at any stage.

    Sorry I was talking about the cabrio versions alright.

    I still think your options require planning as it’s a physical alteration to the roof space and in theory an increase in the floor area in that location do Commencement Notice required.
