How is re-roofing approved in Whitchurch, Shropshire?

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.

Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England. Conservation areas with Article 4 directions and listed buildings are the exceptions.

Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.

Re-roofing: common questions

Does re-roofing need building regulations?

In England and Wales, replacing a large part of the roof covering normally needs building control approval or a registered competent person, and insulation upgraded where practical.

Usually yes, because the scaffolding is already up.
