Side return to ground floor flat - no lightwell. Ideas please

I have just purchased a 2 bed flat, with 1 bath. Planning on doing a side return extension to the existing living/kitchen and incorporating a bathroom into the side return.

I've seen so many ground floor flats with the small courtyard / lightwell between the 2nd bedroom and the new extension. Always thought such a waste of space as it never gets used.

I am proposing extending the 2nd bedroom slightly into the side return to get a skylight into the bedroom. The bathroom would come off this.

See my plans attached for proposal.

Does anybody know if this has been done before? I can't find any previous plans/pictures to work off.

Any other ideas welcome.

Thanks,

Will
