Walk in glass skylight

I've got a roofer who I'm considering putting in walk on glass (not in ) skylight on my flat roof. Do I need to context the council first to discuss building regs and planning permission ? Roofer says its not needed to put a skylight in.

why not ask the council yourself - if you do need permission then there is no way around that fact. If you don't, then they will tell you so and that will be the end of it
what is to be gained by asking the internet, if we say no we could be wrong and you may expose yourself to the consequences ?0 -
Agreed. I would ask the planning department and building regs.So many glitches, so little time...0

Is your builder FENSA registered?
All new windows (and replacements) either need to be signed off by a FENSA installer, or get building regulations approval.

Ok I spoke to the council. One simple form and £250 gets them to ok it when it's going out in and then I get a certificate.
Glad I called. Not having the cert could have cost a lot of money off the price of the place when I sell it otherwise.Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.0
