As from 1 April 2002, Building Regulations request that building owners installing replacement windows or doors must either obtain Building Regulations consent and have the installation inspected to ensure compliance with relevant regulations or use a FENSA registered installer. The relevant regulations are:
L1 Conservation of fuel and power
N1 Glazing protection against impact
In addition, you must also ensure that replacement windows and doors are NO LESS suitable than the existing windows and doors in relation to the following regulations:
A1 Structure
B1 Means of escape in fire
F1 Means of ventilation
J2 Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems
K2 Protection from falling
M2 Access and facilities for disabled people
Repair work, such as replacement glazing or repair of rotten or damaged frame members is not subject to Building Regulation approval.
The above I’ve lifted from another guide; in reality, BR’s only require replacement windows do not make provision any worse than it was before; you are under no obligation fit fire escape windows or trickle vents although these may be beneficial.

Its always a good idea to have at least one fire escape window in habitable rooms.
