Planning permission - no, but you need to ensure that you do not contravene Building Regs with regard to means of escape. If the patio doors are in a separate room, you might be compromising fire safety, which dictates that a ground floor room must have either a door to the outside, or an escape window.
Escape windows are very specific in terms of opening area and cill height above the floor, so you would need to check that first.
