Building regs approval

[Stattman]

I’m looking to have a re-roof on a 1950’s semi with old horse hair lining and concrete tiles which are looking end of life. An acquaintance mentioned to check with the local council if a building control certificate is needed. With the two quotes I’ve received so far, there’s been no mention of there being a certificate included.

Done a search and came across this, which seems fairly clear. But I don’t live in a conservation area.

Building regulations: Re-roofing - Roof - Planning Portal

Details of the planning permission and building regulation regimes for Roof in England

I was going to go back the roofers and confirm, but wanted to seek guidance on this as well.

Thanks
Regards
Mark

It's notifiable under the 'disturbing a large area of thermal fabric' rule.

You will need to observe venting and insulation regulations. It's not a particulary tough one.
