Swimming Pool Enclosure

[partimehero]

Hey Guys,

Can somebody help please? I am going to help build a swimming pool enclosure for a friend of mine but I need clarification on building regulations.

The floor area is going to be well over 30m2 (84m2 approx) so does this mean that full building regulations will have to be applied?

Its only going to be an enclosure with plenty of windows so would a timber framed wall construction using:

4x2 wall framing
100mm Xtratherm between studs
Timber cladding outside
Moisture resistant plasterboard inside or timber cladding
And all moisutre barriers etc

Roof:

8x2 Rafters
100mm Xtratherm (between or on top of rafters???)
Tiled outside
Possible timber cladded rafters on inside

Would this suffice?

Thanks in advance for any advice offered......

You will definitely need Building Regulations Approval, you may also need Planning Permission http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/outbuildings/

Your construction is in principle OK but you'll likely need to up the insul for the roof and the floor will need consideration too. If you have a certain percentage of wall area glazed you'll also need SAP calcs.
