If the hole cut in the plywood was the footprint of the dormer it would not be a concealed space. Then, if the dormer dimensions played ball, could it be a ceiling pocket not requiring sprinklers?

I think it still falls under combustible concealed space and needs sprinklers. Everyone that I have run across ended up having a hole cut in the plywood for access to the dormer.

I have an attic with decorative roof dormers built above the roof and separated from the attic space below by plywood sheathing. Do I need to poke heads up into the dormers? I have been doing this in the past, but now am wondering if it is necessary.
