Removing the velux and refitting the missing section with support,returning our roof to the way it was made to be.

Should be easier to remove the velux than fit one in all honesty. I can't see in the pictures but it's not uncommon for the rafters either side of the velux to be doubled up and they can stay as they are if they have. It's really just a case of removing the window and putting in a rafter in the opening to carry the tile laths.
Take the window out carefully and you'll be able to sell it on.
