Ah, The 80s! When we still had freedom, and self reliant people could use their ingenuity and achieve things without having to have a bit of paper approved by jobsworths. Young people are now frightened of their own shadows.
Can anyone give me an idea on how I could get a staircase up to the loft without a dormer?

Sold my last property with stairs to loft, lined, insulated, carpeted, separate boiler room .
Buyers solicitors had no problem with it being described as a loft room for access to boiler room.
Estate agents were happy to call it a loft room.
Over 40square metres .

Insurers, solicitors and the law, may have a different view. Estate agents could not give a chuff who dies up there.
Similar to my childhood's cupboard-stairs... in 2021, I sold my own house. Earlier that year, I had the loft insulated and plasterboard-lined. The pull-down ladder was just left, as you would expect for a storage area. But the room was absolutely 'finished', and I used it as a home office, and nice clean storage. No-one involved in the buying process batted an eyelid. I was honest throughout and told them it wasn't technically a bedroom, nor should it be used as one.
