loft conversion volume allowance interpretation

I just wanted to make sure that I am understanding the planning permission rules correctly:
A loft conversion for your house is considered to be permitted development, not requiring an application for planning permission, subject to the following limits and conditions:
A volume allowance of 50 cubic metres additional roof space for detached and semi-detached houses*
By additional do they mean the new volume created by a dormer or mansard conversion? By this logic there is no extra volume added by a velux conversion. Am I right?
My loft at the moment ( unused, untouched since originally built) has a volume of about 70 cubic metres. I just wanted to make sure that the government doesn't consider this volume as a livable space post conversion and count it towards the 'additional volume'.
