Sorry you're going to have to delve a bit deeper into your loft, you need to lift up the insulation where those joists are and see if any of them are bearing on the bit of wall you want to remove and if one does does it go all the way into the party wall, the wall set back from the chimney?

Can you hear the whistling noise outside?

If you're doing a proper job, I would expect BC to pick him up on that too. Local BC or Private?

You can print this off and shove it under his nose if gets funny. https://celotex.co.uk/assets/concrete-slab-floor_application-datasheet_nov18.pdf

On a windy day, you can use a candle or incense stick to find air leaks.

Is this an external wall? What koolpc is getting at is are there any ceiling joists bearing onto it, which way do the ceiling joists run? Perhaps take some pics of the top of the wall in the loft for us and take a pic or two from further away so we can see things in context.

Of course, you win some you lose some.

You need to check what the guidance was that was in place when that application was approved. In anycase precedent doesn't really exist nowadays in planning (especially for domestic extensions) just because something was approved previously does not mean the council are bound to approve the same...
