It wouldnt flag on planning or regs, only definitive way is to sample suspected material in UKAS lab, or with experience you can identify asbestos and make an assumption that it is and manage it appropriately.
I've replied to your other post about this ..
Let me guess the builder has said you have got asbestos and its going to cost xxxx to get fixed
You think the builder is trying to pull a fast one
Most builders will not touch asbestos with a barge pole.
A cowboy builder will normally try and hide it as he knows it will add costs and time to the job Something they really don't want
To remove it properly requires specialist courses and Qualifications I'd say 99.9% of builders are not Qualified to touch it and instead get a company in to remove it.
If your builder has said its asbestos I would listen to him... if you don't trust him then get a second opinion..
Better still if you don't trust him then get another builder

What type and age of residential building are you talking about? In standard houses it would be unusual to find the more hazardous asbestos materials - though not impossible. You would be much more likely to come across asbestos cement products which is less hazardous and can often be removed by builders and householders. Although this must still be handled and disposed of safely. A decent builder should be able to identify suspect products and should certainly be able to identify asbestos cement. Once identified the only way to be sure is to sample the material.

Whats the age of property.? Location of suspected asbestos? Whats the material eg insulation, corrugated roof, artex etc.
Any person engaged in a professional capacity has a duty (under common law and statute law) to be aware of materials and locations likely to contain asbestos, and to take the necessary precautions and advise their clients accordingly.
There is also a duty on you as client to have due diligence and to advise your builder of any potential asbestos, or engage the required specialists for investigation and/or removal
Ok please ignore my ignorance and I'm sure it's too difficult to tell. This is a flat I rented recently that was just done before I moved it. The pipes in the bathroom left exposed. Now I'm freaking there might have been asbestos. House was old old old....converted into flats. Edwardian I think?

No needvto freak out unless u are disturbing and releasing fibres. People get nervous of words asbestos and panic, you need to manage asbestos and not necessarily remove it. Ifyyour that worried get a type 2 asbestos survey with sampling.
Depends on type of asbestos, how much broken etc. If it is broken u and its not shattered paint it or seal with pva
