What counts as a new roof in terms of planning permission?

Question

In terms of planning permission, does replacing the tiles count as a new roof? Or is it when the whole thing is redone?

If  more than 50% of the roof covering will be affected, you will need to submit a planing application.

No please! New tiles don't count as new roof sr.and you don't need any permission please.

Arkadiusz · Answer

Replacing roof tiles without altering the structure or appearance of the roof does not require formal planning permission. It is often regarded as maintenance work or a "like-for-like" replacement (using a similar material). However, if the replacement involves significant structural changes or alterations to the roofing materials, or if it affects the overall appearance or character of the building, it may be considered a new roof and potentially require planning permission. Examples of significant changes may include altering the pitch or shape of the roof, using different roofing materials, or adding additional features such as dormer windows.
All the best. Arkadiusz
