Cogsy_neil said:Its just Smooth Concrete tiles I believe thats what it says in the quote.Don't know if this helps, but I have just tried phoning my local council (Plymouth City, so other councils may have a different process but I expect it's fairly centralised and similar). I learned that it's not the planning people I need to speak to, it's the building regs people. You then have to apply through the portal for "other works" - Building Regulation Building Notice Form (England). It's £147 (for me), plus you also need to get hold of a "block plan" to upload as part of the application. They provide several links to companies who can provide you with a block plan - for about £8. It seems that it's just a copy of OS maps but it must be the correct scale and have North direction on it, which is why I guess there are people you pay to do this rather than trying to mock it up yourself on MS Paint.Your council should also provide a pre-application service which I think is free for a half hour call, but they charge for a detailed hourly one

I think some of the most expensive words in English are 'my builder said'. What he's done does, at a glance look fairly reasonable, but that's a significant structural change and, as such, needs appropriate design and permissions. Find yourself a structural engineer.
