Double sealed build overs are fine, just not over a public sewer.

I’ve had a quick scan, so have not done too much research, but there is this document. http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/BR_PDF_AD_M_2013.pdf Page 63 Relates to habitable rooms. Will have a look tomorrow, see if I can dig up anything for you.

I’m sure you realise already, but just to make sure, the total building control fee would be £360. Either an approved plan application for £180, followed by an inspection for £180. Or £360 for the inspection and building notice at the end.

Hello Yes, a flat roof is a potential solution, I personally prefer the GRP fibreglass ones, but there is a great deal of choice out there these days. I would personally stick with what you’ve got, just place a full householder application in at £206, only £103 more than the CLD, a relatively...
