Skylight in bathroom

[SALL2009]

I am planning on getting a single story extension and considering having a VELUX skylight in bathroom ceiling instead of a window in the wall. Can anyone see any practical issues with this?
The reason for wanting the window in the roof is that I am also planning on having a conservatory in the future and don’t think a bathroom window opening in the conservatory will be very appealing.

It'll be useless for anyone not tall enough to open it, apart from that its fine.

If its going to be out of reach get one that you can open electrically. I know someone who has one in bathroom and it stinks as he has a manual opening one and cannot reach it.
