For the insulated panels, I believe I only need to fasten them to both ends of the wall plates (the new wall and the existing outer course) for structural attachment. I don't think I need to consider anything structural other than these two ends, similar to what they discussed in reply #13...

Good to know it's possible. Did you put any insulation on the roof? I am thinking of trimming the existing rafters to the inner course. Then, hang the roof panels from the outercourse of the existing cavity to the new extension wall.

I saw this design before unfortunately I have to go for planning route rather than permitted development route (I have lawful certificate already) as the new roof in your design will be higher than the existing eaves.

Yes, I saw a couple of YouTube videos on this managing to install the whole roof in a matter of hours. Also you save a lot of headroom.

Ahh thanks for flagging. I actually have got lawful certificate approved for this project. It's a flat roof in the plan but I didn't specify the material in the plan. In the worst case scenario, I guess I can simply wrap the insulated roof panels with felt - most houses use felt for their...

We are gaining probably slight more than 2m length (up to the new door). Also, it isn't that much more expensive as we are doing the work ourselves. Any advice on the roof panels would be appreciated as well!

Those comments are extremely useful—thank you! Panels: - I believe each 3*1m panel weighs approximately 30 kg, so it should be manageable for us to lift them. Manhole: - Fortunately, it's a private drain, allowing us to install a double-sealed manhole cover. - You're correct; we need to...

Yes I got quoted ridiculous amount for a typical felt warm roof construction. That's why I am thinking of self building it myself. Also, I can gain more headroom by simply using the panels instead of having a rafter structure underneath. I think the suggestions are brilliant. I'll talk about it...

We are actually going to knock down the wall between kitchen and living room. And the new kitchen cabinet will be extended next to the utility door.

I'm thinking of using insulated roof panels for the single storey side utility extension (10m x 2.8m) (right hand side of the plan). Here's why: They're self-spanning, so no need for a rafter structure, and we get more headroom. That matters to us because the bottom of the main house eaves is...
