Thanks for all the replies

Planning is not usually my field, im a chartered building surveyor and have read the gpdo 1995, any alteration to the roof is permitted development, my understanding is that aslong as I dont make any changes to extetnal roof fenestration the internal loft room is kegal as in my planning...
