What are you going to do with the walls?
Did you need Building Regs for the Velux? When my daughter had them fitted during some alterations, they insisted they were accessible as fire escapes and they had to build steps to them.
In one bedroom they allowed a tiny door to be built to allow escape to the adjoining room.
