Permission for replacing windows/facias/soffits etc

Options
Hello

Do you need to get planning permission from the council if you are having new windows and replacing your old guttering/soffits?

We had a new back door, kitchen window and soffits put in over the summer, but a friend has recently commented that we should have got permission even if it is replacing like for like? Is this true?

    or possibly a conservation area. I know where I am we can't replace our front windows without a lot of hassle.
    Are they mixing up Building Control with Planning Permission? A lot of people confuse the two.

    Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.

    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

    for windows etc... as long as the company is FENSA registered then you dont need building regulations unless you live in a listed house or conservation area when you would need planning permission.

    If the company you used are not FENSA registered then yes you need building regulations
