no, what he is saying that you will only need to apply for permission if you want to add railings or carry out any works to the roof to create an enclosure from stopping you falling off. if you want to sit up there with nothing protecting you from falling you off you wont need to apply for planning permission.
is the garage attached to the house?0 -

As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.0 -

yes, and the previous owner put some french windows so that you can go out onto the roof.0 -

I would say yes, it does need planning permission, especially with the direct access from the property.
However, in my experience the planners rarely grant permission for a balcony/roof terrace etc. without quite onerous requirements to prevent overlooking adjoining properties.
You may want to consider how your roof terrace may overlook the neighbours before you consult the local authority as once they are informed about it they are more likely to take action against any unauthorised work.0
