Rockwool or celotext insulation is good for Roof conversions.

What would you raise the floor level for? Extra insulation or running cables under or what?

Looks a good space

I would say the first thing you need to do is get it fully insulated. Lofts can be bloody freezing in the winter and although you have insulation on the floor nnormally, here you would need it on the ceiling too, and to ensure all those bits around the edges, where you can see day light, are covered up as well.

I guess if you raised the floor, you could use some decent underfloor heating.

Would love to see pics when your done.

I know bosc monitors are great, but if I had that space I'd be making 20+ vivs!

Best of luck. I'm not going to be much use with ideas (sorry for polluting the thread) but I'm really interested to see how this goes so keep up the good work! I'll be keeping an eye on you...
