I would like to ask about the following topic:
My wife and I have purchased a detached house built in 1957 and want to renovate the roof. We have already received a quote. The quote includes the items for insulation between the rafters and insulation above the rafters. We accepted this quote last year.
However, my wife has researched online and found articles stating that certain types of insulation above the rafters require approval from municipal authorities. Now we are not sure if we also need a building permit (planning permission) for our roof renovation.
The insulation above the rafters is 100mm (4 inches) thick and would be Pavaterm Plus. The supporting battens are 40/60mm (1.5/2.4 inches) in size.
Our question now is: In our case, is a permit required? Or is it a case of "if no one knows about it, it won’t cause any trouble"?
We have seen both situations online—cases where a permit was required and cases where it wasn’t.
If the details from the quote are needed for a more specific answer, I could scan it and attach it here.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thank you in advance.
