The first thing you need to look at is the building regulations because
regardless of any planning permission requirement you will need approval
from the building control section of your local council. Before you do
anything else go and talk to them because it may save you a lot of wasted
time and money.

Yes my question was intended to encompass building regulations and thus
possibly save me even more time.

General knowledge of these regulations, input required.

Common sense, plenty of, not required.
