    Is it possible to have a church-styled window installed?

    Is it possible to have a church-styled window installed at the front of my converted loft space (thus facing out from the front of the property at the top)? Will I need special approval for this? I want to change the style of the window of course but also the shape to a sword-tip shape like that of a cathedral. I want it to be colourful and to feature an in-depth design.
