Default velux window and roof intergrity

Is this not a question for a surveyor and a structural engineer? You would
not get much sympathy from the planners either if you caved in the roof
without asking for permission, at least not around here.

If two of the rafters are cut a Velux window 1340 wide will fit in the
loft.
There are 6 rafters in total that reach the ridge, it would be two of
these, the roof is hipped and sarked with planks.

It gets 100mph windy here, would this be too big a weakening of the loft?
thanks
