Do I need planning permission for work on my roof?

The planning rules covering works to the roof are covered in this section on the Planning Portal1.

If, after using our site guidance, you have further questions about a particular aspect of planning permission you should contact your local planning authority, usually your council.

You can find contact information for your local planning authority on the Planning Portal:
