Further to our conversation just now and yesterday's visit, I am dropping you a line to let you know that having spoken with some potential builders etc re the idea of a completely solid roof and consequently we probably will not be looking to do that now.

The load bearing implications and therefore the extra foundations and structural work that this would occassion would not make having a totally solid roof feasible at this stage.

Having discussed it with a company who does these sorts of things we will probably look at either a hybrid roof which is partially solid and partially glass OR just glass. Everything else to be the same in the pre-planning application.

This company did say that all their materials were thermally efficient and it would make the space a habitable room. I do not know if that has any planning implications? Also if you could let me know any potential issue we would have to address with light pollution or spillage from having a glass roof that would also be appreciated.

If you have any questions please do let me know otherwise I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your assistance thus far.

Kind regards
