Planning conditions can change over time and you're often at the mercy of your planning officer's interpretation. You don't have PD, so you're going to be in limbo until the work is complete and signed off. It doesn't really matter what the current wording is, or whether the advice is official (unless you plan on working on the loft in the immediate future).
I beg to differ. It seems like certain PD rights have been restricted, such as to the front of the property (i.e. facing the CA) and others such as the right to build a roof extension below the main ridge line of the roof. As I mentioned above, as long as the proposals comply with the wording of the GPDO then there is very little open to interpretation. The fact that others have carried out similar work either suggests that either the rooflights fall under PD rights, or precedent has been established by means of planning consent being granted. Precedent is a strong material consideration when determining a planning application.

You have to work out if you're ok with the risk, or if it's enough to turn you off the property. On the plus side you're not going to get bothered by any PD works from your neighbours...
What's your worst case scenario if you can't do the work? Moving again?
