Brick conservatory, adding new tiled roof, plans?

Hi all,
We are applying for building notice as we plan to have a pitched tiled roof added, replacing out PVU roof.
The con leads out from our living room, has brick walls & then conservatory doors leading to the garden.
Do you think we need to have professional plans drawn up for this or do you think this is something we could ask our builder to do?
Thank you xx

Tiled roof will be 3X the weight of the old PVU roof and need a lot more support!0

By building notice, do you mean planning permission, or building regs?
What do the planners at the council say? You have spoken to them yes?0 -
We have spoken to building control and yes, they believe only building notice I'll be sufficient, based on the fact that we have the different coloured bricks on the brick walls, they think this means the footings will be deep enough (tho we are still going to dig and check and have them confirm)0

What? :eek:Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0 -
Would not trust Building Control that planning not required. Speak direct with planning department yourself. When you expose foundations make sure building control are happy with result. Even if footings and dwarf wall are acceptable to Building Control is the structure above this of sufficient strength to support the new roof structure?0

What does your builder say?
We did similar, without plans, two builders we got to quote were happy and one wanted plans.

Are you talking about replacing the roof with normal tiles or one of the new conservatory replacement roof systems ? They are lighweight so a different proposition re foundations. They have the appearance of tiles and are thermally efficient.0
