Anyone know what this planning mark means?

Hi,
I've been looking at the floor plans of a new build home. does anyone know what the dotted lines making a box and then crossed through are? (see pic - box marked in thick red)

Thanks to anyone that can explain!

The marks are in line with each other (as in the one in the living room is directly below the one in the bedroom) so it can't be a skylight. and Surely not a loft hatch either...?

Skylight / loft hatch ?

Living room is downstairs and directly under the bedroom, so it can't be a skylight or loft hatch...
I'm befuddled!

I don't know what it means but just wanted to comment is that the rooms appear really really small? Maybe it's just me ?

20.6 sq meters for a living room is 221 sq ft (I work in old money).

The square root of 221 = a room 14'8" square, which is "pretty generous" by many new build standards.

The 20.6 living room is 4.53m square.

My living room is smaller.

How many bedrooms is it?

It's a new build, poky rooms go with the territory.

Maybe it is a loft hatch and the inclusion of it on the living room is an error? I can't think of anything other than a lift shaft(!) that would go through both rooms.

I think they're actually quite a big bigger than the average 2 bed house. 4.5m x 4.5m roughly for the living room...

It's a 2 bed house. 83.1 square meters in total, which according to various reports is pretty generous for a new build... average in the UK is 76 sqm

are you able to specify things before its even built to make it easier to do extensions in the future - im thinking steel beams in the right places, etc
