Anyone have any ideas of rooflight / Part K situation?

I have a roof terrace at the back of my new build. Next to the terrace I have a rooflight providing light into the deep plan space below.  The issue I have is that I both don't want and am now unable to put a gaurdrail up along the edge (upstand is only blockwork and is not all waterproofed).  However I understand from Part K this required.  I am going to enquire about making the glass 'walk-on' but have a feeling it's going to massively increase the price to the point I cannot afford.  Anyone experienced similar and keen to know how you got over this?

If the rooflights are toughened and laminated the requirement for balustrade may be reduced anyway.  Don't forget access for cleaning with all that glass.
