Do I need Planning permission

.. to split a room and move the bathroom into that - There would be no window so we would be thinking of making a new one??

You'll need planning permission for a new window, I think. You'll need Building Regs approval for new pipework and electrics, plus a Part P Certificate for any electrics in a bathroom.

Why not speak to the planning department at your local council?

You will need building regs approval for the creation of a new room, including ventilation and accoustic insulation from adjoining room, etc. Apart from the window,planning should not be an issue.

You may or may not need planning approval for the new window, (assuming its a residential property) it may be covered by permitted development rights.

Highly unlikely - most windows are not even development in the first place, therefore not requiring planning permission. Even if they are regarded as development, then they would be permitted development.

Unless there is a condition on a previous planning permission restricting the insertion of additional windows (more likely on side elevations), then planning permission would not be required.

Just check it's not in a conservation area or the building isn't listed. There may be some restrictions then.
